Answer:

$2,090 Favourable

Explanation:

According to the given situation, the computation of labor efficiency variance for July is shown below:-

Labor efficiency variance = Standard rate × (Standard hours - Actual hours)

= $11 × ((0.7 × 3,000) - 1,910)

= $11 × 190

= $2,090 Favourable

Therefore for computing the labor efficiency variance for July we simply applied the above formula.
