MATERIAL PRICE VARIANCE is the variance caused by the difference between the actual price paid and the standard price of the direct materials.This can be calculated as follows:

The direct material price variance is the difference between Standard Material Price & Actual Material Price. That is
Material Price Variance = Actual Quantity X Standard Price - Actual Quantity X Actual Price
