    Direct material quantity variance = $34,000 unfavorable

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Standard direct material pounds per unit = 4 pounds

    The standard price of the direct material was $8.50 per pound.

    The firm purchased and consumed 228,000 pounds in manufacturing 56,000 units.

    To calculate the direct material quantity variance, we need to use the following formula:

    Direct material quantity variance = (standard quantity - actual quantity) * standard price

    Direct material quantity variance = (56,000*4 - 228,000) * 8.5

    Direct material quantity variance = (224,000 - 228,000) * 8.5

    Direct material quantity variance = $34,000 unfavorable
