False

Explanation:

It is 'Incremental cost allocation method' that ranks the individual users of a cost object in order of users most responsible for a common cost (the most responsible will be primary user) and then uses these rankings to allocate the costs among the users (incremental users).

Stand-alone cost allocation method allocates cost proportionately among all users based on a basis which relates to each users proportion of the total. For example the basis could be proportion of sales of responsibility centers to total sales of organization.
