    Direct material price variance = $2,025 unfavorable.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Standard price $ 17.20 per meter

    Actual materials purchased 8,100 meters

    Actual cost of materials purchased $ 141,345

    Actual materials used in production 7,600

    First, we need to calculate the actual price per meter:

    Actual price = 141,345/8,100 = $17.45

    Now, using the following formula, we can calculate the material price variance:

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

    Direct material price variance = (17.20 - 17.45) * 8,100 = $2,025 unfavorable.

    It is unfavorable because the actual price paid for meter is higher than estimated.
