Answer:

Materials quantity variance = $1,750(U)

Explanation:

Standard quantity(SQ) = $2.5 * 6600 = 16500 Kg

Standard Price( SP) = $5  

Actual quantity(AQ) = 16,850 Kg  

Actual Price( AP) = $90,720 / 18,900 kg = $4.8

Materials quantity variance = SP * (SQ - AQ)  

Materials quantity variance = 5 * ( 16500 - 16,850 )

Materials quantity variance = 5 * (350)

Materials quantity variance = $1,750(U)
