Answer 1

30)Since in the direct method, we allocate service(support) department costs only to production departments, Overheads of Maintenance and Personnel department are to be charged to A and B.

Maintenance Department costs of $310,000 are allocated on the basis of budgeted maintenance−hours.

Hence, $310,000 is allocated to A and B in the ratio of 1300:600.

Maintenance Department cost allocated to A =

1300*310000/1900

212105

Threfore, Option A is correct.
