    b. $128,168

    Explanation:

    Hanung Corp

    Service Departments

    Maintenance Department Personnel Department

    Costs $360,000 $110,000

    Cost Driver budgeted maintenance-hours number of employees

    Budgeted

    Maintenance-hours NA 880

    Number of employees 60 NA

    Production Departments

    Department A Department B

    Budgeted Costs $188,000 $282,000

    Budgeted

    Maintenance-hours 1230 680

    Number of employees 290 630

    First we find the rate by dividing the total budgeted cost of Maintenance with the budgeted maintenance hours then we multiply it with the maintenance hours of Department to B to get Department B maintenance Costs.

    Using the direct method, the amount of Maintenance Department costs will be allocated to Department B

    = ($ 360,000 / 1230+680) * 680 = ($ 360,000 / 1910) * 680=$ 128167.53

    = $ 128167

    So choice B is the correct answer.
