Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Direct materials standard (4 lbs. $2 per lb.)= $8 per finished unit

Actual direct materials used (AQ)= 300,000

Actual finished units produced= 60,000

Actual cost of direct materials used= $535,000

Direct material price variance= (2 - 1.783)*300,000

Direct material price variance= $65,100 favorable

Actual price= 535,000 / 300,000= $1.783

Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price

Direct material quantity variance= (4*60,000 - 300,000)*2

Direct material quantity variance= $120,000 unfavorable
