C) The purchasing manager paid a premium price for a higher quality of raw materials. D) Raw materials waste was substantially reduced in the factory. - ANSWER a The direct mater ials price variance is calculated as A) the difference in Actual Quantities (AQ) multiplied by the Actual Price (AP) of the input. B) the Actual Quantity (AQP) of direct materials divided by the Actual Quantity (AQ). C) the difference in prices of the Actu al Quantity Purchased (AQP) and the Actual Price (AP) multiplied by the Actual Quantity Purchased (AQP) and the Standard Price (SP) of the input purchased.
