Answer:
Favorable for price and unfavorable for usage.
Explanation:
Provided Information,
Standard Material = 2.2 pounds per unit
Standard cost = $2 per pound
Actual Quantity = 2.3 pounds per unit
Actual cost = $1.95 per pound
In Material Price variance we have = (Standard Price - Actual Price) Actual Quantity
Since Standard Price $2 is more than actual price = $1.95 the variance is favorable.
In material quantity variance we have = (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity) Standard Rate
Since actual quantity used = 2.3 pounds is more than standard 2.2 pounds the variance will be unfavorable
Therefore, Price Variance = Favorable, and Quantity Variance = Unfavorable.
