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: 4 pounds at $10 per pound	$	40
Direct labor: 2 hours at $16 per hour		32
Variable overhead: 2 hours at $6 per hour		12
Total standard cost per unit	$	84

The planning budget for March was based on producing and selling 30,000 units. However, during March the company actually produced and sold 34,500 units and incurred the following costs:

6. If Preble had purchased 177,000 pounds of materials at $9.20 per pound and used 150,000 pounds in production, what would be 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.). Input all amounts as positive values. Do not round intermediate calculations.)

7. What direct labor cost would be included in the companys planning budget for March?

8. What direct labor cost would be included in the companys flexible budget for March?

9. What is the labor rate 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.). Input all amounts as positive values. Do not round intermediate calculations.)

10. What is the labor efficiency 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.). Input all amounts as positive values. Do not round intermediate calculations.)

I will make sure to rate this answer well if its complete.

1. Purchased 150,000 pounds of raw materials at a cost of $9.20 per pound. All of this material was used in production.

2. Direct laborers worked 62,000 hours at a rate of $17 per hour.

3. Total variable manufacturing overhead for the month was $390,600.
