Answer:

The correct answer is B: are selling costs and administrative costs

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Period costs:

a. are used to compute product costs.

b. are selling costs and administrative costs.

c. can be included in overhead costs.

d. are carried in inventory until the goods are sold.

Period costs are not directly tied to the production process. Overhead or sales, general, and administrative (SG&A) costs are considered period costs. Includes costs of the corporate office, selling, marketing, and the overall administration of company business. Period costs are not attached to one particular product or the cost of inventory like product costs.
