Answer:

The correct option is A

Explanation:

The direct materials price variance for the month is computed as:

Direct Material Price Variance = [Actual yards of direct material purchased × (Actual direct materials total cost / Actual yards of direct material purchased ) -    Standard direct materials cost per yard]

Direct Material Price Variance = [1,400 × ($15,500/ 1,400) - $8]

                                                  = [1,400 × ($11.0714 - $8)]

                                                  = 1,400 × $3.0714

                                                  = $4,300

It is unfavourable as the Actual Price is more than the standard price.

Therefore, the correct answer is $4,300 unfavourable which is option A.
