Answer:

The change in the dollar amount of inventory is $200 due to change in the inventory costing method.

Explanation:

The variable cost per unit is $6.00 while the fixed cost per unit is $2.00

Variable cost per unit = $6.00

Absorption cost pet units = $8.00

Total cost under absorption costing = Absorption cost per unit / number of units in ending inventory

Total absorption cost = $8.00 × 100 = $800

Total cost under variable cost = Variable cost per unit × number of units in ending inventory

Total variable cost = $6.00 × 100 = $600

Change in cost = Total absorption cost - Total variable cost

Change in cost = $800 - $600 = $200
