Answer:

Direct material price variance= $24,603.6 favorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Direct materials 7.6 ounces $4.00 per ounce

Purchases of raw materials 17,400 ounces

Actual cost of raw materials purchases $45,000

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