Solution 1

The direct materials price variance can be calculated using the formula:

(Actual Quantity x Standard Price) - (Actual Quantity x Actual Price)

First, we need to find the standard price and the actual price per pound.

Standard Price = 1.00perpound(giveninthequestion)ActualPrice=Totalcost/ActualQuantity=1.00 per pound (given in the question) Actual Price = Total cost / Actual Quantity = 17,280 / 18,000 pounds = $0.96 per pound

Now, we can substitute these values into the formula:

(18,000 pounds x 1.00perpound)(18,000poundsx1.00 per pound) - (18,000 pounds x 0.96 per pound) = 18,00018,000 - 17,280 = $720

Since the actual cost is less than the standard cost, the variance is favorable. So, the answer is $720 F.
