    a. The material price variance is $3,960 unfavorable

    b. The material quantity variance is $14,6680 favorable

    Explanation:

    a. The computation of the material price variance is shown below:

    = Actual Quantity * (Standard Price - Actual Price)

    = 4,400 * ($19.30 - $88,880 : 4,400)

    = 4,400 * ($19.30 - $20.20)

    = 4,400 * $0.9

    = $3,960 unfavorable

    b. The computation of the material quantity variance is shown below:

    = Standard Price * (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)

    = $19.30 * (8.1 meters * 600 units - 4,100)

    = $19.30 * (4,860 - 4,100)

    = $19.30 * 760

    = $14,6680 favorable
