Compute the materials price variance and the materials quantity variance, indicating whether each is favorable or unfavorable. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favourable, "U" for unfavourable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
