Answer: $600F

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

standard unit price - $1.80

actual purchase price per unit - $1.65

actual quantity purchased - 4,000

units actual quantity used - 3,900

units standard quantity allowed for actual production - 3,800 units

Material purchase price variance = ( Actual unit price of material - standard unit price of material) × Actual unit of material purchased

($1.65 - $1.80) × 4000

( $0.15) × 4000

$600F (Favorable) because standard price is higher than actual price
