Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. Material Price Variance is

= Actual Quantity × (Actual Rate - Standard Rate)

= 6000 × ($18000 ÷ 6000 - $4)

= $6,000 Favorable

b. Material Quantity Variance is

= Standard Rate × (Actual Quantity - Standard Quantity)

= $4 × (6000 - 5 × 1000)

= $4,000 (Unfavorable)

c. It is favorable as actual production is more than the normal monthly output
