Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard: Direct materials 6 pounds $4.30 per pound $25.80
Actual= Jackson purchased 145,600 pounds of direct material at a total cost of $655,200.
<u>To calculate the direct material price variance, we need to use the following formula:</u>
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Actual price= 655,200/145,600= $4.5
Direct material price variance= (4.3 - 4.5)*145,600
Direct material price variance= $29,120 unfavorable
