B. $470 unfavorable.
C. $2,000 unfavorable.
D. $2,470 unfavorable.
E. $2,050 unfavorable.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Standard Quantity = 4,200

Actual Quantity = 4,700

Standard Price  = $4

Cost = $4.10 per pound to produce 2,300 units

Direct Material Quantity variance:

= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity) × Standard Price

= (4,200 – 4,700 ) × $4

= $2,000 Unfavorable

Therefore, the direct materials quantity variance is $2,000 Unfavorable.
