Answer:

$1,206 unfavorable

Explanation:

materials price variance = (AP – SP) x AQ

SP = $1.75

AQ = 24,120 units (units purchased)

AP = $43,416 / 24,120 = $1.80

materials price variance = ($1.80 - $1.75) x 24,120 = $1,206 unfavorable

Since the price paid for each part is higher than the standard price, the variance is unfavorable.
