Answer:[tex]67500[/tex]

The right solution is "13,675 U".

Explanation:

According to the question,

The standard material cost will be:

= [tex]25000\times (\frac{90000}{30000} )\times 0.90[/tex]

= [tex]25000\times 30000\times 0.90[/tex]

= [tex]67,500[/tex]

The actual material cost will be:

= [tex]95500\times 0.85[/tex]

= [tex]81,175[/tex]

hence,

The total material price variance will be:

= [tex]Actual \ cost - Standard \ cost[/tex]

= [tex]81175-67500[/tex]

= $[tex]13,675[/tex] (Unfavorable)
