Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard quantity 6.7 liters per unit

Standard price $ 1.20 per liter

Actual production was 2,600 units.

The company used 18,000 liters of direct material to produce this output.

To calculate the direct material quantity variance, we need to use the following formula:

Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price

Standard quantity= 6.7*2,600= 17,420

Direct material quantity variance= (17,420 - 18,000)*1.2

Direct material quantity variance= $696 unfavorable
