Direct material price variance= $700,000 favorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

It took James 1,400,000 yards at $2.50 per yard to make the 250,000 t-shirts. The materials and labor standards for manufacturing the t-shirts are: Direct materials (6 yards of fabric @ $3 per yard) $18 Direct labor (2.4 hours @ $8.00 per hour) 17

Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity

Direct material price variance= (3 - 2.5)*1,400,000= $700,000 favorable

the investment was $14,174.196

explanation:

a lump sum means that the father of the example made one deposit and leave it be.

we need to know the value of a capital that generated at 4.05% per year during 28 years the sum of $48,613.24

now clearing the formula to solve for capital we got:

and we reach the answer investment = $14,174.20
