Solution

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

Price Variance = (Actual Quantity * Actual Price) - (Actual Quantity * Standard Price)

Substituting the given values into the formula:

Price Variance = (6,700 pounds * 3.40/pound)(6,700pounds3.40/pound) - (6,700 pounds * 3.50/pound)

Price Variance = 22,78022,780 - 23,450

Price Variance = -$670

So, the direct materials price variance is -670.Thismeansthattheactualcostwas670. This means that the actual cost was 670 less than the standard cost.
