Answer:

$56,000 Adverse

Explanation:

direct materials quantity variance = Aq × Sp - Sq ×Sp

                                                       = (6,500×$16) - ((1,500×2)×$16)

                                                       =  $104,000 - $48,000

                                                       = $56,000 Adverse

More materials were used during the month than was expected thus adverse.
