Answer:

Material price variance = $400

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.

It is is computed as follows:

The material price variance

                                                                                           $

4000 units should have cost (4,000× 1.75)              =  7,000

but did cost - actual cost        (4,000× $1.65)           =  6,600

Material price variance                                                   400  favorable

Material price variance = $400
