    Option (a) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Lumber purchased = 6,000 feet

    Cost per foot (actual price) = $6

    Standard price for direct materials = $5

    Cost of purchasing material:

    = Quantity of lumber purchased * Price per foot

    = 6,000 * $6

    = $36,000

    Direct materials price variance:

    = (Standard Price - Actual Price) * Actual Quantity purchased

    = ($5 - $6) * 6,000

    = $6,000 Unfavorable

    Therefore, the journal entry is as follows:

    Direct Materials A/c Dr. $30,000

    Direct Materials Price Variance A/c Dr. $6,000

    To Accounts Payable 36,000

    (To record the purchase and unfavorable direct materials price variance)
