If you hire 3 musicians, for 2 1/2 hours, your first hour will be $300. The service fee is $50. Thus, the first hour will cost $350.Overtime increments are half hour calculated at $25 per musician.:
$100 x 3, for each musician's first hour = $300+ $50 service fee = $350
This leaves 3 half hour increments for each musician. This rate is figured at $25 for each half hour increment, for each musician. So:
$25 x 3= $75.00 for each half hour overtime per musician.
With 3 musicians, this comes to $75 x 3= $225. So:
Total hourly rate for the first hour = $350.00
Total hourly rate for the last 1 1/2 hours = $75 x 3= $225
TOTAL COST = $575
The deposit amount is 1/2 of the total cost.
