Answer:
Direct material quantity variance= $992 unfavorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard quantiy= 8kg
Standard cost= $0.8 per kilogram
Production= 870 unit
8,200 kilograms of the raw material was purchased for $6,888.
To calculate the material quantity variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Standard quantity= 870*8= 6,960kg
Direct material quantity variance= (6,960 - 8,200)*0.8
Direct material quantity variance= $992 unfavorable
