Solution

To calculate the number of pounds of material used in the current period, we need to use the formula for the direct material price variance, which is:

Direct Material Price Variance = (Actual Price - Standard Price) * Actual Quantity

We can rearrange this formula to solve for the Actual Quantity:

Actual Quantity = Direct Material Price Variance / (Actual Price - Standard Price)

Substituting the given values into this formula:

Actual Quantity = 6,400/(6,400 / (62.00 - $60.00)

Actual Quantity = 6,400/6,400 / 2.00

Actual Quantity = 3,200 pounds

So, Cavern Company used 3,200 pounds of material in the current period.
