Direct material price variance = $144 unfavorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard Direct Materials 2.5 pounds $8.25 per pound.

During the most recent month, Garfield recorded the following activity: a) The company purchased 1,440 pounds of material at a cost of $8.35 per pound. b) All of the material purchased was used to make 600 units of Super Scrub.

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

Direct material price variance = (8.25 - 8.35) * 1,440 = $144 unfavorable
