    Material price variance 2830 unfavorable

    Explanation:

    Material price variance

    A material price variance occurs where materials are purchased at a price either lower or higher than the standard price. A favourable variance is recorded where the actual total cost of materials is lower that the standard cost. While an adverse variance implies the opposite

    Standard material cost of 2 $

    28,300 grams should have cost (28,300*$6.90) = 195270

    but did cost (actual cost - 28,300*$7.00) = 198100

    Material price variance 2830 unfavorable
