(Do not round your intermediate calculations. Indicate the effect of variance by selecting "Favorable", "Unfavorable", or "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).) Price Varianc b. Calculate the direct materials quantity variance. (Indicate the effect of variance by selecting "Favorable", "Unfavorable", or "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).) Quantity VarianceExplanation / Answer
a Price variance = 141730-(10020*14)= $1450 Unfavorable b Quantity variance = 14*(10020-3270*2.9)= $7518 Unfavorable
