[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:
Direct material: 5 pounds at $7.00 per pound $ 35.00
Direct labor: 3 hours at $16 per hour 48.00
Variable overhead: 3 hours at $4 per hour 12.00
Total standard variable cost per unit $ 95.00
The company also established the following cost formulas for its selling expenses:
Fixed Cost per Month Variable Cost per Unit Sold
Advertising $ 360,000
Sales salaries and commissions $ 420,000 $ 28.00
Shipping expenses $ 19.00
The planning budget for March was based on producing and selling 30,000 units. However, during March the company actually produced and sold 34,000 units and incurred the following costs:
Purchased 175,000 pounds of raw materials at a cost of $6.80 per pound. All of this material was used in production.
Direct-laborers worked 71,000 hours at a rate of $17.00 per hour.
Total variable manufacturing overhead for the month was $340,090.
Total advertising, sales salaries and commissions, and shipping expenses were $370,000, $535,000, and $275,000, respectively.
4. If Preble had purchased 186,000 pounds of materials at $6.80 per pound and used 175,000 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 the amount as a positive value.)
