    The correct answer is A.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Refurbishing materials:

    Variable cost = $600

    Fixed costs = $18,800

    Estimated cost = 600*35 + 18,800 = $39,800

    Actual cost = 600*32 + 18,800 = $38,000

    Refurbishing activity variance = Estimated - actual cost

    Refurbishing activity variance = 39,800 - 38,000 = 1,800 favorable
