B)they shift portions of fixed manufacturing overhead from period to period according to changing levels of inventories.
C)they include all fixed manufacturing overhead on the income statement each year as a period cost.
D)they ignore inventory levels in computing income charges.

Variable manufacturing costs were $6.00 per unit and fixed manufacturing costs were $2.00 per unit.

A)$800 decrease
B)$200 decrease
C)$0
D)$200 increase
