    Direct material quantity variance = $1,260 unfavorable

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Standard quantity of 7.6 liters per unit

    Standard price $ 2.10 per liter

    The company budgeted for production of 3,400 units.

    The actual production was 3,500 units.

    The company used 27,200 liters of direct material to produce this output.

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

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

    Standard quantity = 3,500 units * 7.6 = 26,600

    Direct material quantity variance = (26,600 - 27,200) * 2.1 = $1,260 unfavorable

    It is unfavorable because the company used more material than estimated to produce 3,500 units.
