Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
To calculate the materials price variance, we need to compare the actual price paid for the materials to the standard price. The actual quantity purchased is not given in the information provided, so we cannot compute the exact materials price variance. However, we do know that the materials cost was $36,080, which is $2,140 less than the total standard cost of $38,220. This means that the actual price paid for the materials was less than the standard price, resulting in a favorable materials price variance.
