Answer: |
Materials Price Variance = Actual Quantity (AQ) x ( Standard Price (SP) (-) Actual price (AP) ) Materials Price Variance = AQ x (SP (-) AP) Actual Price (AP) = Standard Price (-) ( Materials Price Variance / Actual Quantity ) = $ 5.20 (-) ( $ 656 / 1,600 ) = $ 5.20 (-) $ 0.41 Actual Price (AP) = $ 4.79 |
Actual purchase price (AP) per set of direct materials = $ 4.79 |
Option (a) is Correct |
