    a. Direct materials price variance $2,250

    b. Direct materials quantity variance - $11,250

    c. Total direct materials cost variance - $9,000

    Explanation:

    a. Direct materials price variance

    materials price variance = (AP-SP) * AQ

    = ($3.00-$2.50) * 4,500 pounds

    = $2,250

    b. Direct materials quantity variance

    materials quantity variance = (AQ-SQ) * SP

    = (4,500 pounds - 5,000 pounds) * $2.50

    = - $11,250

    c. Total direct materials cost variance

    Total direct materials cost variance=Direct materials price variance+Direct materials quantity variance

    = $2,250-$11,250

    = - $9,000
