Answer:

b. credit to Direct Materials Quantity Variance for $3,200.

Explanation:

Direct material quantity variance = Standard quantity - Actual quantity * Standard price for direct material

Direct material quantity variance = (6,100 - 5,300) * $4

Direct material quantity variance = 800 * $4

Direct material quantity variance = $3,200 Favorable
