    Instructions are below.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Standard quantity = 5 yards of material per unit.

    The standard price = $8.50 per yard

    During the month, 8,800 parts were manufactured, using 45,700 yards of material at a cost of $8.30.

    To calculate the direct material price and quantity variance, we need to use the following formulas:

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

    Direct material price variance = (8.5 - 8.3) * 45,700

    Direct material price variance = $9,140 favorable

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

    Standard quantity = 8,800*5 = 44,000

    Direct material quantity variance = (44,000 - 45,700) * 8.5

    Direct material quantity variance = $14,450 unfavorable

    Total direct material cost = 9,140 - 14,450 = $5,310 unfavorable
