Quantity of direct materials used 3,000 lbs. Actual unit price of direct materials $5.50 per lb. Units of finished product manufactured 1,400 units Standard direct materials per unit of finished product 2 lbs.Direct materials quantity variance-unfavorable $1,000Direct materials price variance-unfavorable $1,500.

Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity

-1,500= (SP - 5.5)*3,000

15,000=3,000SP

5= standard price

Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price

Direct material quantity variance= (1400*2 - 3,000)*5

Direct material quantity variance= 1,000 unfavorable
