    The materials price variance for the month is $5,265 favorable

    Explanation:

    The material price variance is computed by taking a difference between the actual price - standard price and multiply with actual quantity.

    In the given question, the actual price is not given. So, we need to calculate the actual price by using the formula which is shown below:

    = Actual cost of material purchased : Actual materials purchased

    = 151,065 : 8,100 meters

    =$18.65 per meters

    Now, we can easily calculate. The equation is shown below:

    = (Actual Price - Standard Price) * Actual Quantity

    = ($18.65 - $18.00) * 8,100

    = $5,265 favorable.

    Thus, the materials price variance for the month is $5,265 favorable.
