Preble Company manufactures one product. Its variable manufacturing overhead is applied to production based on direct labor-hours and its standard cost card per unit is as follows:

Direct materials: 5 pounds at $9 per pound	$	45
Direct labor: 3 hours at $14 per hour		42
Variable overhead: 3 hours at $9 per hour		27
Total standard cost per unit	$	114

The planning budget for March was based on producing and selling 20,000 units. However, during March the company actually produced and sold 24,800 units and incurred the following costs:

Purchased 155,000 pounds of raw materials at a cost of $7.20 per pound. All of this material was used in production.

Direct laborers worked 65,000 hours at a rate of $15 per hour.

Total variable manufacturing overhead for the month was $612,300.

1. What raw materials cost would be included in the companys planning budget for March? and in the Flexible budget also for March?

2. What is the materials price variance for March? and materials quantity variance for March?

3. 5. If Preble had purchased 180,000 pounds of materials at $7.20 per pound and used 155,000 pounds in production, what would be the materials price variance for March?

4. If Preble had purchased 180,000 pounds of materials at $7.20 per pound and used 155,000 pounds in production, what would be the materials quantity variance for March?

Thank you
