    Direct material price variance = $2,740 unfavorable

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Standard direct material per unit = 7.3 grams

    Standard cost per gram = $6.00 per gram.

    Actual direct material price per gram = $6.1

    Actual direct material quantity = 27,400

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

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

    Direct material price variance = (6 - 6.1) * 27,400 = $2,740 unfavorable
