Answer:
(-$10,000) Unfavorable
Explanation:
Direct materials:
Quantity = 15 pounds
Standard price = $16 per pound
Actual price = Purchase Price ÷ Purchase quantity
= 170,000 ÷ 10,000
= 17
Material price variance:
= Actual purchase quantity × (Standard price - Actual price)
= 10,000 × ($16 - $17)
= 10,000 × (-$1)
= (-$10,000) Unfavorable
