    -$18,300 (Unfavorable)

    Explanation:

    Material price per variance:

    = Ounces of aluminium used in production (Standard price - Actual cost per ounce)

    = 1,875,000 ($0.08 - $0.10)

    = 1,875,000 * (-$0.02)

    = - $37,500 (Unfavorable)

    Material usage variance:

    = [ (Cans produced * Standard unit quantity) - Ounces of aluminium used in production] * Standard price

    = [ (4,50,000 * 4.7) - 1,875,000] * 0.08

    = $19,200 (Favorable)

    Therefore,

    Total variance = Material price per variance + Material usage variance

    = - $37,500 + $19,200

    = - $18,300 (Unfavorable)
