850 units should have used ( 850× 5.9 pounds)         5,015

but did use                                                                      6,550

Usage variance                                                             1,535 unfavorable

×    standard price                                                         $14.70  

Usage variance                                                           22,564.5 unfavorable                                        

Usage variance = $22,564.5 unfavorable
