Which variance is directly impacted if a worker drops the raw material during production and the raw material must be discarded? A) Direct materials quantity varianceB) Direct materials price varianceC) Direct labor rate varianceD) Direct labor efficiency variance

A) Direct materials quantity variance

Explanation:

The direct materials quantity variance applies to the variance that originates from the variation in the required and actual amount of materials utilized in production. The primary motive of conducting the measurement is to evaluate the efficiency of the process of the production of converting the raw materials into finished products.
