    Raw material Inventory A/c Dr. $72,000

    To Direct material cost variance $28,200

    To Accounts payable $43800

    (To record the raw material transaction)

    Workings:

    Standard cost of Actual quantity purchased:

    = Actual Quantity purchased * Standard price

    = 15,000 * $3

    = $45,000

    Material Price variance:

    = Standard cost of actual material purchased - Actual material cost

    = $45,000 - $42,600

    = $2,400

    As the Price variance is favorable it shall be credited to Direct material cost variance.
