Pearson Architectural Design uses a job-order costing system and applies studio overhead to jobs on the basis of direct staff costs. Because Pearson Architectural Design is a service firm, the names of the accounts it uses are different from the names used in manufacturing companies. The following costs were recorded in January:
| Cost of subcontracted work (comparable to direct materials) |
$ |
231,400 |
| Direct staff costs (comparable to direct labor) |
$ |
76,300 |
| Studio overhead (comparable to manufacturing overhead cost applied) |
$ |
133,525 |
| Cost of work completed (comparable to cost of goods manufactured) |
$ |
389,100 |
There were no beginning inventories in January.
At the end of January, only one job was still in process. This job (the Krimmer Corporation Headquarters project) had been charged with $6,600 in direct staff costs.
Required:
1. Compute the predetermined overhead rate that was used during January.
2. Complete the following job cost sheet for the partially completed Krimmer Corporation Headquarters project.

(Round your intermediate calculations to whole number.)
