Answer 1

Answer: $289,000

Explanation:

For performance evaluation purposes, the amount of Maintenance Department cost that should be charged to the Paints Division at the end of the year will be calculated thus:

= (20000 × $2) + ($830,000 × 30%)

= $40,000 + ($830000 × 0.3)

= $40000 + $249,000

= $289,000
