Answer 1

Answer:

Actual price= $1.6 per unit

Actual price= $3.2 per set

Explanation:

To calculate the actual price, we need to use the following formula:

Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity

400= (1.8 - actual price)*2,000

400= 3,600 - 2,000actual price

2,000actual price = 3,200

actual price= $1.6 per unit
