    a. $2,000 underapplied.

    Explanation:

    Estimated Overhead = $216,000

    Estimated Professional hours = 18,000

    Predetermined overhead rate = $216,000 / 18,000 = $12 per hour

    Actual Professional hours = 17,500

    Overhead applied = $12 x 17,500 hours = $210,000

    Actual overhead = $212,000

    Under applied overhead = Applied overhead - Actual overhead

    Under applied overhead = $210,000 - $212,000

    Under applied overhead = $2,000
