572 Favorable

Explanation:

Direct Labour efficiency Variance:

= (Standard Labour Hour - Actual Labour Hour) * Standard Rate

= [ (78 connectors * 3 hours of direct labor per connector) - (190 hours) ] * $13 per hour

= [234 hours of direct labor - 190 hours] * $13 per hour

= 44 hours * $13 per hour

= $572 Favorable

Therefore, Banner's direct labor efficiency variance for August is $572 Favorable.
