Respuesta :

Answer:

$5440 Unfavorable

Explanation:

Given that

Actual production = 3,200 units

Actual quantity = 27,600 kilos

Standard price  = $4.00 per kilos

Standard quantity  = 8.2 kilos per unit

The computation of materials quantity variance is given below:-

= (Standard quantity - Actual quantity) × Standard price

= (26,240 kilos - 27,600 kilos) × $4.00 per kilos

= $5440 Unfavorable

So,

Standard quantity = Actual production × Standard quantity

= 3,200 units × 8.2 kilos per unit

=26,240 kilos
