Answer

B .

Explanation

Computation of Material Price Variance:

Material Price Variance = Actual Quantity*(Actual Price - Standard Price)

Here,

Actual Quantity (AQ) = 71,000 Kilograms

Standard Price = x

Actual Price = 0.5+x

 

Material Price Variance = 71,000(($0.5+ $x - $x) 

= 71,000($0.5) 

Material Price Variance = $35,500 Unfavorable
