Answer: $3800 U

Step-by-step explanation:

The direct material efficiency variance will be calculated as follows:

Direct material efficiency variance = (Standard quantity - Actual quantity) × Standard price of material

= (5900 - 6300) × 9.50

= 400 × 9.50

= $3800 U

Therefore, the direct material efficiency variance is $3800 Unfavorable.
