Required information (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 labor-hours and its standard cost card per unit is as follows: $ 48 Direct materials: 6 pounds at $8 per pound Direct labor: 4 hours at $17 per hour Variable overhead: 4 hours at $4 per hour Total standard cost per unit The planning budget for March was based on producing and selling 19,000 units. However, during March the company actually produced and sold 24,000 units and incurred the following costs: a. Purchased 160,000 pounds of raw materials at a cost of $7.20 per pound. All of this material was used in production. b. Direct laborers worked 72,000 hours at a rate of $18 per hour. c. Total variable manufacturing overhead for the month was $336,960. 5. If Preble had purchased 187,000 pounds of materials at $7.20 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 (.e., zero variance.). Input all amounts as positive values.) Materials price variance 6. If Preble had purchased 187,000 pounds of materials at $7.20 per pound and used 160,000 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.) Materials quantity variance 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.) Labor rate variance 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.) Labor efficiency variance 14. What is the variable overhead rate variance for March? (Round the actual overhead rate to two decimal places. 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.) Variable overhead rate variance 15. What is the variable overhead efficiency variance for March? (Round the actual overhead rate to two decimal places. 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.)
