Answer:

$950,400 Favorable

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of direct manufacturing labor price variance is shown below:-

Standard quantity for production = 19,000 × 0.90

= 17,100

Direct Material flexible-Budget variance = Standard Quantity × Standard Price - Actual Quantity × Actual Price

= 17,100 × $60 - 1,200 × $63

= 1,026,000 - $75,600

= $950,400 Favorable

Therefore for computing the direct manufacturing labor price variance we simply applied the above formula.
