    The correct answer is $322,5 favorable.

    It used 50 pounds less than estimated for the number of units produced.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Standard price per pound $6.45

    Actual quantity used in production 2,750 pounds

    Units of product manufactured 700

    Materials purchase-price variance-favorable $855

    Budget data for the period:

    Units to manufacture 1,000

    Units of direct materials 4,000 pounds

    First, we need to determine the standard quantity required.

    Standard quantity = 4,000 pounds / 1,000 units = 4 pounds per unit

    Now, we can calculate the quantity variance:

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

    Direct material quantity variance = (2,800 - 2,750) * 6.45 = 322.5 favorable
