Darien Cunningham · Answer 1

a) 3,320 F

Explanation:

The computation of the material quantity variance is shown below:

= Standard Price * (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)

= $16.60 * (1 pounds * 2,100 units - 1,900 pounds)

= $16.60 * (2,100 pounds - 1,900 pounds)

= $16.60 * 200 pounds

= $3,320 favorable

The material quantity variance comes in favorable as standard quantity is more than the actual quantity so it should be favorable
