Answer:

The correct answer is "-$7200 (Unfavorable)".

Explanation:

Given:

Actual quantity,

= 54000 pounds

Standard price,

= $3 per pound

Standard quantity,

= [tex]4300\times 12[/tex]

= [tex]51600 \ pounds[/tex]

As we know,

⇒ [tex]Material \ quantity \ variance=(Standard \ quantity-Actual \ quantity)\times Standard \ price[/tex]By substituting the values, we get

⇒                                          [tex]=(51600-54000)\times 3[/tex]

⇒                                          [tex]=(-2400)\times 3[/tex]

⇒                                          [tex]=-7200 \ (Unfavorable)[/tex]
