Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Direct materials 7.7 ounces $ 2.00 per ounce $ 15.40

Purchases of raw materials 23,400 ounces

Actual cost of raw materials purchases $ 45,100

To calculate the direct material price variance, we need to use the following formula:

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

Actual price= 45,100/23,400= $1.93

Direct material price variance= (2 - 1.93)*23,400

Direct material price variance= $1,638 favorable
