Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

✓

Allocates overhead from account 601100 to 601200 based on cost center

The allocation rule transfers balances from main account 601100 to main account 601200, using the cost center dimension as the basis for allocation. Option B correctly describes this. Option A is incorrect because although it identifies the correct source and destination accounts, it states 'based on main account' rather than 'based on cost center.' Option C is wrong because it reverses the source and destination accounts. Option D is incorrect because the rule uses a dimension basis (cost center) rather than a fixed percentage.
