    Material price variance = $13,260 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 favorable variance is recorded where the actual total cost of materials is lower that the standard cost. While an adverse variance implies the opposite

    $

    132,600 pounds should have cost (132,600*$5.50) = 729,300

    but did cost (actual cost - (132,600 * $5.60) = 742,560

    Material price variance 13,260 unfavorable
