    Material quantity variance

    = (Standard quantity - Actual quantity) x Standard price

    After the adjustment for missing order

    Material quantity variance

    = (1.25 x 5,000 - 6,200) x $1.50

    = $ 75 (F)

    The correct answer is A

    Explanation:

    Material quantity variance is the difference between standard quantity and actual quantity used multiplied by standard price. Standard quantity is standard quantity per unit multiplied by units made. Since the units made are now 5,000 units. Standard quantity will be 1.25 multiplied by 5,000 units.
