The following materials standards have been established for a particular product: Standard quantity per unit of output 4.6 grams Standard price $ 15.05 per gram The following data pertain to operations concerning the product for the last month: Actual materials purchased 3,100 grams Actual cost of materials purchased $ 44,020 Actual materials used in production 2,400 grams Actual output 300 units What is the materials quantity variance for the month?

Direct material quantity variance= $15,351 unfavorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard quantity per unit of output 4.6 grams

Standard price $ 15.05 per gram

Actual materials used in production 2,400 grams

Actual output 300 units

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

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

Direct material quantity variance= (4.6*300 - 2,400)*15.05

Direct material quantity variance= (1,380 - 2,400)*15.05= $15,351 unfavorable
