    Direct materials quantity variance = $1,536 unfavorable

    Explanation:

    Direct materials quantity variance is the figure obtained when the standard cost is deducted from the actual quantity at standard price. This also known as the direct material usage/efficiency variance.

    The direct materials quantity variance can be calculated using the following formula:

    Direct materials quantity variance = (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity) * Standard Price

    For this question, we have:

    Standard Quantity = Standard pounds of materials used = 4,420

    Actual Quantity = Actual pounds of materials used = 4,660

    Standard Price = Standard price per pound = $6.40

    Therefore, we substitute and have:

    Direct materials quantity variance = (4,420 - 4,660) * $6.40 = $1,536 unfavorable

    Note that it is unfavorable because the actual pounds of materials used is less than standard pounds of materials used.
