Paola Blackburn · Answer 1

Direct material quantity variance = $620.83 unfavorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Budgeted production 943 units Actual production 1,038 units

Materials:

Standard price per ounce $1.81 Standard ounces per completed unit 11

Actual ounces purchased and used in production 11,761 Actual price paid for materials $24,110

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

Direct material quantity variance = (11,418 - 11,761) * 1.81 = $620.83 unfavorable
