    The actual usage of materials was less than the standard allowed.

    Explanation:

    Based on these variances, one could conclude that the actual usage of materials was less than the standard allowed because the Company planned to produce 3,000 units of its single product during November in which the standards for one unit of the product specify six pounds of materials at $0.30 per pound but at the end the Actual production in November was 3,100 units instead of 3,000 unit which was planned.

    A favorable materials quantity variance can occurred in a situation where the actual usage of materials was less than the standard allowed which is AQ < SQ.
