Answer: $2.28
Explanation:
Based on the information given, the actual price per pound of direct materials will be calculated as:
Material Price Variance = (14000)
Since material price valriance is the actual price deducted from the standard price for actual quantity that was used during production process. This will be:
(14000) = [(2 Ă— 50000)] - [Actual Price Ă— 50000]
(14000) = (100000) - (actual price Ă— 50000)
(Actual Price Ă— 50000) = 100000 + 14000
Actual Price Ă— 50000) = 114000
Actual Price = 114000 / 50000
Actual price = 2.28
