Answer:

The answer is $1,200 should be recorded as the materials' quantity (usage) unfavorable variance.

Explanation:

Please find the below for detailed explanations and calculations:

The variance is equal to: Actual produced amount x Standard usage of material x standard cost - Actual produce amount x Actual usage of material x standard cost = 4,500 x 2 x 3 - 4,500 x 9400/4500 x 3 = $(1,200)

Due to the actual usage of material is higher than the budget material usage, the variance of $1,200 is unfavorable.
