    f. $615

    Explanation:

    The standard cost for 2,850 pounds is $18,328.5 (=$6.45 * 2,850)

    Materials purchase-price variance-favourable $855; it means standard price is higher and actual material price. Then we have actual cost for purchased 2,850 pounds is $17,527.5 (=$18,328.5-$855)

    Then the actual price per pound $6.15 (=$17,527.5/2,850)

    The difference between purchased and actual quantity used is 100 pounds ( = 2,850 pounds - 2,750 pounds)

    The direct materials usage variance for the period is $650 ( = $6.15 * 100 pounds)
