    Hence, Cisco's materials usage variance is 12,000 Unfavorable

    So, the correct option is c. $12,000

    Explanation:

    Material Usage variance : The computation of material usage variance is shown below:

    = (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity) * Standard price per pound

    where,

    Standard Quantity = Production units * Material allowed per unit

    = 12,000 * 1.5

    = 18,000 pounds

    So,

    Material Usage Variance = (18,000 - 19,500) * $8

    = 12,000 Unfavorable

    Hence, Cisco's materials usage variance is 12,000 Unfavorable

    So, the correct option is c. $12,000
