    The correct option is A

    Explanation:

    The direct materials price variance for the month is computed as:

    Direct Material Price Variance = [Actual yards of direct material purchased * (Actual direct materials total cost / Actual yards of direct material purchased) - Standard direct materials cost per yard]

    Direct Material Price Variance = [1,400 * ($15,500 / 1,400) - $8]

    = [1,400 * ($11.0714 - $8) ]

    = 1,400 * $3.0714

    = $4,300

    It is unfavourable as the Actual Price is more than the standard price.

    Therefore, the correct answer is $4,300 unfavourable which is option A.
