Compute the standard price per pound of materials. (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)

Compute the standard quantity allowed for materials for the month's production. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)

Compute the standard quantity of materials allowed per unit of product. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)

Compute the actual direct labor hours for the month.

Compute the labor rate variance. (Input the amount as a positive value. Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
