Answer:
A. $520 U
B.178 F
Explanation:
A.
Materials price variance = (AQ × AP) – (AQ × SP)
= $48,880 – (2,600 × $19) 
=$48,880-$49,400
= $520 U
Therefore the material price variance for the month is $520U
B.
Materials quantity variance = SP(AQ – SQ*)=
 $19 ($2,500 – $2,322) = $178F
Therefore the materials quantity variance for the month $178F
SQ = Standard quantity per unit × Actual output
= 8.6 × 270 = $2,322
