Using the following information, compute the direct material price variance: Actual production, usage, and costs: * units produced: 13,325 units * Direct materials purchased: 132,600 pounts at $5.60 per pound * Direct materials used: 131,900 pounds * Direct labor: 34,450 hours used at a total cost of $347,945 * Machine hours used: 53,235 * Variable manufacturing overhead: $370,516 The following standards were in place for one unit of this product at the beginning of the year: Standard Quantity Standard Price Standard Cost per unit Direct Material 10 pounds per unit $5.50 per pound $55.00 per unit Direct Labor 2.6 hours per unit $10.00 per labor hour $26.00 per unit Variable Overhead 4 machine hours per unit $7.00 per machine hour $28.00 per unit Total standard cost $109.00 per unit Multiple Choice $13,260 Unfavorable $700 Favorable $7,425 Favorable $7,425 Unfavorable

Material price variance  = $13,260 unfavorable

Explanation:

Material price variance

A material price variance occurs where materials are purchased at a price either lower or higher than the standard price. A favorable variance is recorded where the actual total cost of materials is lower that the standard cost. While an adverse variance implies the opposite

                                                                                                  $

132,600 pounds  should have cost (132,600×$5.50 ) =   729,300

but did cost (actual cost -              ( 132,600× $5.60)  =     742,560

Material price variance                                                    13,260 unfavorable
