Answer 1

Answer:

Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Lumber purchased = 6,000 feet

Cost per foot (actual price) = $6

Standard price for direct materials = $5

Cost of purchasing material:

= Quantity of lumber purchased × Price per foot

= 6,000 × $6

= $36,000

Direct materials price variance:

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

= ($5 - $6) × 6,000

= $6,000 Unfavorable

Therefore, the journal entry is as follows:

Direct Materials  A/c Dr. $30,000

Direct Materials Price Variance A/c Dr. $6,000

                To Accounts Payable            36,000

(To record the purchase and unfavorable direct materials price variance)
