Answer:

Direct material price variance= $3,706.64 unfavorable

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard price per ounce $1.77

Actual ounces purchased and used in production 13,238

Actual price paid for materials $27,138

To calculate the direct material price variance, we need to use the following formula:

Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity

Actual price= 27,138 / 13,238= $2.05

Direct material price variance= (1.77 - 2.05)*13,238

Direct material price variance= $3,706.64 unfavorable
