    The correct answer is B.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Standard quantity = 7.8 grams per unit of output

    Standard price = $6.50 per gram.

    During the month the company purchased 27,900 grams of the direct material at $6.70 per gram.

    To calculate the material price variance, we need to use the following formula:

    Direct material price variance = (standard price - actual price) * actual quantity

    Direct material price variance = (6.5 - 6.7) * 27,900

    Direct material price variance = $5,580 unfavorable.

    It is unfavorable because the actual price was higher than estimated.
