I thought special memorandum accounts were for something else entirely!

Special cash accounts? Nope, not allowed for short sales.

Wait, can you really do a short sale in a custodian account? That seems off.

I definitely recall that margin accounts are the right choice for short sales, but I can't remember if the special memorandum account has any relevance here.

I’m a bit confused; I thought custodian accounts could allow short sales, but now I’m questioning that.

I think a short sale can only be done in a margin account, but I'm not completely sure about the other options.

Okay, let's see. We need to set up the dimensions that affect WMS, and they need to be identical in each company. I'm leaning towards option C, creating a product master and assigning the configuration.

I'm a bit unsure about this one. The question is asking if the underlined text doesn't make the statement correct, so I'm not sure if "No change is needed" is the right answer. I might need to think this through a bit more.

I remember a practice question about how combining warehouses improves inventory efficiency, so I'm leaning towards option B.
