Answer 1

a lower price than planned was paid for materials

Step-by-step explanation:

Direct material price variance is the difference between actual cost and standard cost.

Price variance is favourable when actual cost is less than standard cost. That is, when a lower price than planned was paid for materials.

Price variance is unfavourable when actual cost is greater than standard cost. This is, a higher price than planned was paid for materials.
