Salesforce Platform Developer I (legacy) — Question 153

A developer must build an application that tracks which Accounts have purchased specific pieces of equipment that are represented as Products. Each Account could purchase many pieces of equipment.
How should the developer track that an Account has purchased a piece of equipment?

Answer options

• A. Use the Asset object
• B. Use a Master-Detail on Product to Account
• C. Use a Custom object
• D. Use a Lookup on Account to Product

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The Asset object is specifically designed to track items owned by Accounts, making it the ideal choice for monitoring purchased equipment. Options B and D would not accurately reflect the ownership relationship since they do not utilize the Asset object, and option C does not leverage existing Salesforce functionality, which is less efficient.
