Answer:

3,200 unit

Step-by-step explanation:

Direct materials price variance = Quantity used * (Standard price - Actual price)

-$6,400 = Quantity used * ($60.00 - $62.00)

-$6,400 = Quantity used * -$2.00

Quantity used = -$6,400/-$2.00

Quantity used = 3,200 unit

So, the quantity of pounds of material used in the current period is 3,200 unit
