Explanation / Answer

Std Material Quantity per unit of Output: 0.50 pounds Std material Quantity allowed for actual output (5100 *0.50): 2550 pounds Std price per pound: $ 4.00 per pound Actual Quantity used: 2615 pounds Actual price per pound: $ 3.85 per pound Material Price Variance: Actual Quantity   *     ( Std price per pound    - Actual Pound per pound)    = Material Price variance 2615 pounds   * ( 4.00      - 3.85   )     = $ 392.25 Favorable Material Price variance: $ 392.25 Favorable Material Efficiency Variance: Std price per pound * ( Standard qty      - Actual Quantity ) = Material Efficiency Variance 4.00 * (2550 pounds       - 2615 pounds )      = $ 260 unfavorable Material Efficiency variance: $ 260 Unfavorable Total Material variance: Material price variance: 392.25 F material Efficiency Variance: 260 U Total Material variance: 132.25 Fav Total Material variance: $ 132.25 favorable
