Answer 1

Answer: $1,260 Favorable

Step-by-step explanation:

Material usage variance = (Standard quantity of materials actually produced - Actual quantity of materials actually produced) * Standard price of material

= [ ( 4 * 6,300 ) - (3.9 * 6,300) ] * 2

= [ 25,200 - 24,570 ] * 2

= 630 * 2

= $1,260 Favorable
