Answer from: Lashuante4722

The correct option is B

$400 unfavorable

Explanation:

Material quantity variance occurs when the actual quantity used to achieved a given level of output is more or less than the standard quantity.

It is determined by the difference between the actual and standard quantity of material for the actual level of output multiplied by the the standard price

pounds

Standard quantity allowed (5 × 1000) 5,000

Actual quantity 5,200

200 unfavorable

Standard price ×$2

The quantity variance ($) $400unfavourable

Answer from: breella0

B) $400 unfavorable.

Explanation:

A variance is favorable when it increases net income and unfavorable when it does the opposite.

To calculate direct materials quantity variance we can use the following formula:

quantity variance = (AQ - SQ) x SP ⇒ if positive, variance is unfavorable, if negative variance is favorable

AQ = actual quantity = 5,200SQ = standard quantity = 5,000SP = standard price = $2

quantity variance = (5,200 - 5,000) x $2 = $400 unfavorable

In this case, even though the quantity variance was unfavorable, since the price variance ($520 favorable) was favorable and larger, the total variance is favorable.
