The following data relate to direct materials costs for February: Materials cost per yard: standard, $1.93; actual, $2.03 Standard yards per unit: standard, 4.68 yards; actual, 4.96 yards Units of production: 9,400 Calculate the direct materials price variance. a.$4,399.20 favorable b.$940.00 unfavorable c.$4,662.40 favorable d.$4,662.40 unfavorable

d.$4,662.40 unfavorable

Explanation:

Calculation for direct materials price variance

The first step is to find the Actual quantity variance using the formula

Actual quantity variance =Actual units produced* Actual yard used

Let plug in the formula

Actual quantity variance=9,400*4.96 yards

Actual quantity variance=$46,624

Second step is to calculate for the Direct material price variance using this formula

Direct material price variance= ( Standard price -Actual price)* Actual quantity used

Let plug in the formula

Direct material price variance=($1.93-$2.03)*$46,624

Direct material price variance=(-0.1*46,624)

Direct material price variance=-$4,662.40 Unfavorable

Therefore the Direct material price variance will be $4,662.40 Unfavorable
