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
