The actual cost of direct materials is $10.50 per pound. the standard cost per pound is $11.75. 42) during the current period 10,000 pounds were used in production and 11,500 pounds werepurchased. the standard quantity for actual units produced is 9,900 pounds. the direct materials efficiency variance is: a) $1,175 favorable
b) $16,800 unfavorable
c) $1,175 unfavorable
d) $1,050 favorable

Direct materials efficiency variance =  1175unfavorable

so correct option is C) $1,175 unfavorable

Explanation:

given data

actual cost = $10.50 per pound

standard cost per pound =  $11.75

current period  = 10,000 pounds

purchased = 11,500 pounds

actual units produced = 9,900 pounds

to find out

direct materials efficiency variance

solution

we get here Direct materials efficiency variance that is express as

Direct materials efficiency variance = Standard rate × ( Standard quantity - Actual quantity )     1

put here value in equation 1 and  we get

Direct materials efficiency variance =  11.75 × ( 10000 - 9900 )

Direct materials efficiency variance = 11.75 × 100

Direct materials efficiency variance =  1175unfavorable

so correct option is C) $1,175 unfavorable

i think the answer is a. dependable person

i hope this is right!
