What is the materials quantity variance for the month?

Answer 1

Answer:

Direct material quantity variance= $20,628.3

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard quantity per unit of output 5.3 pounds

Standard price $14.10 per pound

Actual materials used in production 5,650 pounds

Actual output 790 units

To calculate the direct material quantity variance, we need to use the following formula.

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

Direct material quantity variance= (5.3*790 - 5,650)*14.1

Direct material quantity variance= $20,628.3
