Explanation / Answer

Calculation of materials quantity variance for April:

Formula :

Materials quantity variance = (Actual Quantity – Standard Quantity) * Standard Price

Actual Quantity = 10210 Liters

Standard Quantity = Actual Units Produced * Standard Direct materials per unit = 4500 units * 2 liters = 9000 Liters

Standard Price = $7.00 per liter

Hence,

Materials quantity variance = (10210-9000)*7

= $8470 U
