Planned level of output (units)

275,000

Explanation / Answer

Standard cost per unit=$720,000/300,000=$2.4

Direct material quantity variance formula=

(Standard usage in units- Actual usage in units -) x Standard cost per unit

(Std direct materials Quantity - Actual direct materials Quantity) x 2.4

=(300,000-300,000) x 2.4=Nil

Additional Information:There is only price variance
