Question

Relevant information for Material A is as follows:

Answer 1

Answer:

Direct Material Quantity Variance = $2,000 Unfavorable

Explanation:

For the provided information we have,

Actual quantity used = 6,500 lbs

Standard quantity allowed for actual production = 6,000 lbs

Actual price = $3.80

Standard price = $4.00

Direct Material Quantity Variance = (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity) $\times$ Standard Price

= (6,000 lbs - 6,500 lbs) $\times$ $4.00

= - $2,000

As we can see that actual quantity used is more than the allowed standard quantity, thus, the variance is unfavorable.

Direct Material Quantity Variance = $2,000 Unfavorable
