tional screw top. a patent probably wasn't a necessary incentive for colgate to develop the flip-top cap, so why did it patent the cap? to increase consumer demand for toothpaste to establish market power to decrease fixed costs to decrease the marginal cost of production

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

(-$10,000) Unfavorable

Explanation:

Direct materials:

Quantity = 15 pounds  

Standard price = $16 per pound

Actual price = Purchase Price ÷ Purchase quantity

                    = 170,000 ÷ 10,000

                    = 17

Material price variance:

= Actual purchase quantity × (Standard price - Actual price)

= 10,000 × ($16 - $17)

= 10,000 × (-$1)

= (-$10,000) Unfavorable
