Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
We need to find the actual price per pound of direct materials purchased in June, which is given by the formula:

Actual price per pound of direct materials purchased = Total cost of direct materials purchased ÷ Total quantity of direct materials purchased

From the given data, we know that the total cost of direct materials purchased was $162,400 and the total quantity of direct materials purchased was 23,000 pounds.

Therefore,

Actual price per pound of direct materials purchased = $162,400 ÷ 23,000 pounds
= $7.043 per pound

Rounding this to the nearest cent gives us the answer of $7.10 per pound, which is choice C.
