Answer:
$1,200 favorable
Explanation:
The computation of the direct material price variance is shown below:
= Actual Quantity × (Standard Price - Actual Price)
= 3,000 gallons × ($8 - $22,800 ÷ 3,000 gallons)
= 3,000 gallons × ($8 - $7.6)
= 3,000 gallons × $0.4
= $1,200 favorable
The actual price is computed below:
= $22,800 ÷ 3,000 gallons
= $7.6
