Mr Mundell was also quoted in newspapers over the weekend as saying that he would block any "back door funding" for Northern Ireland if it meant the other devolved nations missing out.
Downing Street said the Barnett formula does not apply to the new money as it is being provided as an addition to the Northern Ireland Executive's block grant.
In a similar way, the formula did not apply to city deals in Scotland and Wales, or previous packages of support for Northern Ireland, a Number 10 source said.

When the UK government increases or decreases funding for departments - such as health and education in England - the Barnett formula is used to decide how much each of the devolved governments will receive. Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale warned that the prime minister risked "weakening the bonds that unite the UK" if she did not provide extra money to tackle austerity in Scotland, Wales and the regions of England.
The additional funding is allocated according to the population size of each nation and which powers are devolved to them. And Carwyn Jones, the Labour first minister of Wales, said the agreement "further weakens the UK" and "all but kills the idea of fair funding for the nations and regions."
But Downing Street sources said the deal with the DUP would bring £1bn of one-off "targeted investment" in Northern Ireland, for example through City Deals, which it said was not subject to Barnett. What is the Barnett formula?
