Well, the data shows the price went up, so the direct material price planning variance must have been adverse. Looks like someone's getting a stern talking-to from the higher-ups.

Hmm, let's see. Since the company operates a JIT system, I'd say the direct material price operational variance was probably favorable. Gotta love those just-in-time savings!
