Answer:

Variance          $480  favorable

Explanation:

A material price variance occurs where materials are purchased at a price either lower or higher than the standard price. A favorable variance is recorded where the actual total cost of materials is lower that the standard cost. While an adverse variance implies the opposite.

Standard material cost of 2                                            $

4,800 pounds should have cost (4800 ×$13.20 ) = 63,360

but did cost (actual cost)                                         62,800

Variance                                                                     480  favorable
