Actual overhead was $2,800, however only $2,600 was applied to overhead. Therefore it is
underallocated
After allocating manufacturing overhead to jobs for 2020, a $15,400 debit balance remains in the Manufacturing Overhead account. This means that Smart Touch Learning's actual overhead costs of $83,000 were greater than the overhead allocated to jobs in Work-in-Process Inventory of $67,600. We say that Smart Touch Learning's Manufacturing Overhead is
