    Material price variance = $954 favorable

    Material quantity variance = $9,275 unfavorable

    Explanation:

    The computation is shown below:

    Material price variance

    = Actual Quantity * (Standard Price - Actual Price)

    = 9,540 pounds of material * ($2.5 - $2.4)

    = 9,540 pounds of material * $0.11

    = $954 favorable

    Material quantity variance

    = Standard Price * (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)

    = $2.5 * (1,060 units * 5.5 pounds - 9,540)

    = $2.5 * (5,830 - 9,540)

    = $2.5 * 3,710

    = $9,275 unfavorable
