What is the direct materials quantity variance? a. $1,020 favorable b. $900 favorable c. $1,020 unfavorable d. $900 unfavorable

Answer 1

c. $1,020 unfavorable

Step-by-step explanation:

Direct materials quantity variance = SP x (SQ – AQ)

Where

SQ = Standard quantity

SP = Standard price

AQ = Actual quantity

AP = Actual price

Direct materials quantity variance =$5.10(4800 - 5000)

= $5.10 × -200

= $1,020 unfavorable

The right option is c. $1,020 unfavorable

Answer 2

A. $1,020 unfavorable.
