    The standard for each finished unit of the product allows $0.72 per pound. During December, Garland bought 4300 pounds of plastic at $0.75 per pound.

    To calculate the direct material price variance, we need to use the following formula:

    Direct material price variance = (0.72 - 0.75) * 4,300

    Direct material price variance = $129 unfavorable
