c. $3,000 favorable.
d. $5,989 favorable.
e. $2,989 unfavorable.

the labor efficiency variance for August is $1,680 unfavorable

Explanation:

The computation of the labor efficiency variance is shown below:

Labor efficiency variance is

= (Standard hours - Actual hours) × Standard rate

where,

Standard hours is

= 19,000 units × 2

= 38,000 hours

Now

Labor efficiency variance is

= (38,000 - 38,140) × $12

= $1,680 unfavorable

Hence, the labor efficiency variance for August is $1,680 unfavorable
