Explanation / Answer

Answer:

Option i is Correct.

Direct Material Cost Variance = (SP – AP) * AQ
Standard Price (SP) = $12 per Pound
AP * AQ = $1,548,000
Actual Quantity (AQ) = 129,000
Actual Price (AP) = $12

Direct Material Cost Variance = ($12 - $12) * 129,000
Direct Material Cost Variance = $0
