Respuesta :

Answer:

A. $1,020 unfavorable.

Answer:

c. $1,020 unfavorable

Explanation:

Direct materials quantity variance = SP x (SQ – AQ)

Where

SQ = Standard quantity

SP = Standard price

AQ = Actual quantity

AP = Actual price

Direct materials quantity variance =$5.10(4800 - 5000)

                                                        = $5.10 × -200

                                                        = $1,020 unfavorable

The right option is c. $1,020 unfavorable
