Answer 1

Answer:

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Standard Price = $5

Direct material (Actual Price) = $4.9

Actual Quantity Purchased = 28,900  

Materials price variance for January:

= (Standard Price - Actual Price) × Actual Quantity Purchased

= ($5 - $4.9) × 28,900

= $2,890 (Favorable)

Therefore, the materials price variance for January is $2,890 Favorable.
