    Direct material quantity variance = $992 unfavorable

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Standard quantiy = 8kg

    Standard cost = $0.8 per kilogram

    Production = 870 unit

    8,200 kilograms of the raw material was purchased for $6,888.

    To calculate the material quantity variance, we need to use the following formula:

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

    Standard quantity = 870*8 = 6,960kg

    Direct material quantity variance = (6,960 - 8,200) * 0.8

    Direct material quantity variance = $992 unfavorable
