34) Answer:Option 2) $20 is correct.

Because The Hinge Division is operating significantly below capacity ,So it should transfer hinges to door division at variable cost .

As we know from the fact, Hinge Division is operating significantly below capacity, so they can produce extra 21,000 Hinges without loosing any profit from the current production.
Calculation of proft on if they transfer on $1.33:
Transfer price $1.33
Less: Variable cost $1.16
Profit $0.17
So, the maximum transfer price from the Hinge Division to the Polishing Division is $1.33
