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 $8.00 per pound	$	40.00
Direct labor: 2 hours at $14 per hour		28.00
Variable overhead: 2 hours at $5 per hour		10.00
Total standard cost per unit	$	78.00

The planning budget for March was based on producing and selling 25,000 units. However, during March the company actually produced and sold 30,000 units and incurred the following costs:

Purchased 160,000 pounds of raw materials at a cost of $7.50 per pound. All of this material was used in production.

Direct laborers worked 55,000 hours at a rate of $15.00 per hour.

Total variable manufacturing overhead for the month was $280,500.

1. Raw Materials cost for the company's planning budget for March= $1,000,000

2. Raw materials cost included in the company's flexible budget for March= $1,200,000

3. Materials price variance for March= $80,000 F

4. Materials quantity variance for March= $80,000 U

5. If Preble had purchased 170,000 pounds of materials at $7.50 per pound and used 160,000 pounds in production, what would be the materials price 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.)
