Sales and distribution overhead expense
8y ago#1The clue to B being the only correct answer is "cannot". Since B is undoubtedly a production overhead expense it cannot be classified as sales and distribution. A could be a sales and distribution overhead expense if the building includes sales offices and/or a warehouse for the distribution of finished goods - or it could be an admin overhead if the building is a head office or includes the accounts department (for example).
