(The following information applies to the questions displayed below.) Preble Company manufactures one product. Its variable manufacturing overhead is applied to production based on direct labour-hours, and its standard costs per unit are as follows: Direct materials: 5 kg at $10.00 per kg Direct labour: 4 hours at $16 per hour Variable overhead: 4 hours at $7 per hour Total standard cost per unit $ 50.00 64.00 28.00 $142.90 The company planned to produce and sell 20,000 units in March. However, during March the company actually produced and sold 24,600 units and incurred the following costs: a. Purchased 164.000 kg of raw materials at a cost of $7.50 per kg. All of this material was used in production, b. Direct labour: 57,000 hours at a rate of $17 per hour. c. Total variable manufacturing overhead for the month was $653,220, 2. What is the materials quantity variance for March? (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect i.e., zero variance...)
