Efficiency = (power delivered to system) / (power drawn from wall) The "lost" power is normally emitted as heat. A badly defective supply could conceivably emit a measurable amount of power as radio or sound waves. However, the efficiency of such a defective device is the least of your worries! In terms of working out the AC requirements all you need is the kill-a-watt measurements on the wall side of the supply, as all the power taken from the power lines eventually turns into heat.
