    (-$10,000) Unfavorable

    Explanation:

    Direct materials:

    Quantity = 15 pounds

    Standard price = $16 per pound

    Actual price = Purchase Price : Purchase quantity

    = 170,000 : 10,000

    = 17

    Material price variance:

    = Actual purchase quantity * (Standard price - Actual price)

    = 10,000 * ($16 - $17)

    = 10,000 * (-$1)

    = (-$10,000) Unfavorable
