    The correct answer is D.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Standard Quantity = 2 grams

    Standard price = $7.00 per gram

    The company produced 4,600 units.

    Actual quantity = 10,220 grams

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

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

    Direct material quantity variance = (4,600*2 - 10,220) * 7

    Direct material quantity variance = $7,140 unfavorable

    It is unfavorable because the company used more material to produced 4,600 units than estimated.
