    Materials price variance=1020.024

    Materials price variance is 1020.024 is positive so we call it favourable.

    Explanation:

    The formula for Direct materials price variance:

    Materials price variance=Actual Quantity (Standard Price-Actual Price)

    Actual Quantity=6200

    Actual Price=Cost of material/Actual Quantity

    Actual Price=11380/6200

    Actual Price=$1.83548

    Standard Price=$2

    Materials price variance=6200 (2-1.83548)

    Materials price variance=1020.024

    Materials price variance is 1020.024 is positive so we call it favourable.

    Favourable variance means that material is bought at the price less than standard rate.
