    Explanation:

    Material price variance

    Actual cost of materials = $ 6,888

    Standard cost of material = 8200*0.8 = $6560

    Variance (Difference between the actual and budgeted price for materials)

    = (6888-6560)

    = $328 unfavorable variance.

    Material quantity variance

    Standard material per unit = 8 kilogram

    Actual units produced = 870

    Standard material = 6960

    Actual material used = 7150

    Material quantity variance = Difference in quantity of material used multiplied by the standard cost of material (7150-6960) * 0.8

    =$ 152 unfavorable variance

    The two variances are unfavorable as they exceeded the budget
