Delilah Kirk · Answer 1

Materials quantity variance = $2,350 F

Explanation:

Given:

Standard quantity = 3.7 kilos per unit

Standard price = $5 per kilo

Unit produced = 6,300

Total material = 23,780

Computation:

Materials quantity variance = (Actual quantity * Standard price) - (Standard quantity * Standard price)

Materials quantity variance = (23,780 * $) - (6,300 * 3.7 * $5)

Materials quantity variance = $118,900 - $116,550

Materials quantity variance = $2,350 F
