Explanation:

given data

Direct materials purchased and used (7800 lbs.) = $70,200

Budgeted production = 5300 units

Direct materials 2.0 lbs/unit = $3/lb

direct materials quantity variance

we get here Direct Material Quantity Variance that is express as

Direct Material Quantity Variance = (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity) × Standard Rate ......................1

so put here value we get

Direct Material Quantity Variance = ( 5600 × 2.0 - 7800 ) × 3

Direct Material Quantity Variance = (11200 - 7800 ) × 3

Direct Material Quantity Variance = $10200 Fav
