    Explanation:

    The computation of materials quantity variance for January is shown below:-

    For computing the materials quantity variance for January first we need to find out the Standard quantity of material which is here below:-

    Standard quantity of material for 3400 units will be: 3400 * 7.3

    = 24,820 grams

    Material Quantity Variance = Standard Price * (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)

    $6.00 * (24,820 grams - 24,870 grams)

    = $ 6 * (-50 grams)

    = - $300 Unfavorable

    Therefore we have applied the above formula.
