    Explanation:

    Standard rate (SR) = $7.00 per pound

    Pounds of direct material purchased, Actual quantity (AQ) = 10,830 pounds

    Actual rate (AR):

    = Cost of direct material : Pounds of direct material purchased

    = $76,710 : 10,830 pounds

    = $7.08

    Materials price variance for January:

    = (Standard rate - Actual rate) * Actual quantity

    = (7.00 - 7.08) * 10,830 pounds

    = 0.08 * 10,830 pounds

    = 866.4 Unfavorable
