The competition in the audio recording industry in Seattle has always been tough, but it has been getting even tougher over the last several years. The studio has been losing customers to newer studios that are equipped with more up-to-date equipment and that are able to offer very attractive prices and excellent service. Summary data concerning the last two years of operations follow:

	2010	2011
Estimated hours of studio service	1,600	1,350
Estimated studio overhead cost	$108,000	$108,000
Actual hours of studio service provided	1,500	1,200
Actual studio overhead cost incurred	$108,000	$108,000
Hours of studio service at capacity	2,400	2,400

The company applies studio overhead to recording jobs on the basis of the hours of studio service provided. For example, 47 hours of studio time were required to record, edit, and master the Slug Festmusic CD for a local band. All of the studio overhead is fixed, and the actual overhead cost incurred was exactly as estimated at the beginning of the year in both 2010 and 2011.

Required:
1-a.	Skid Road Recording computes its predetermined overhead rate at the beginning of each year based on the estimated studio overhead and the estimated hours of studio service for the year. How much overhead would have been applied to the Slug Fest job if it had been done in 2010? In 2011?

1-b.	By how much would overhead have been underapplied or overapplied in 2010? In 2011? (Round your predetermined overhead rate to 2 decimal places.)

2-a.
