Answer: $11.50 Unfavorable
Calculations:
Standard quantity (SQ) = Actual output x Standard quantity per output = 100 burgers x 0.5 lb = 50 lbs
Direct materials quantity variance = (Actual quantity - Standard quantity) x Standard price
= (55 lbs - 50 lbs) x $2.30
= 5 lbs x $2.30
= $11.50 Unfavorable
