Why each option

Activity allocation, overhead surcharges, and assessment are allocation methods in cost center accounting that utilize secondary cost elements to transfer costs.

AActivity allocationCorrect

Activity allocation transfers costs for internal services (e.g., machine hours, labor) from a sender cost center to a receiver using a secondary cost element, reflecting the value of the activity.

BPeriodic reposting

Periodic reposting is used to correct incorrect original account assignments for primary costs; it moves existing primary costs using their original primary cost elements.

CDistribution

Distribution allocates original primary costs from a sender to receivers, maintaining the original primary cost elements, thus it does not use secondary cost elements.

DOverhead surchargesCorrect

Overhead surcharges (or overhead calculation) apply additional costs (e.g., administrative overhead) as a percentage or fixed amount to a base, posting these overheads using secondary cost elements.

EAssessmentCorrect

Assessment bundles various primary and/or secondary costs from a sender cost object and allocates them to receivers using a single secondary cost element, masking the original cost elements.
