С. $1,350.00 Favorable

Explanation:

The computation of the material price variance is shown below:

= Actual Quantity * (Standard Price - Actual Price)

= 9,000 * ($19.15 - $171,000 : 9,000)

= 9,000 * ($19.15 - $19)

= 9,000 * $0.15

= $1,350 favorable

The actual price is computed below:

= Actual cost of materials purchased : Actual materials purchased

= $171,000 : 9,000

= $19
