    D) determines the inventory on hand only at the end of the accounting period.

    Explanation:

    Due to the fact of inflation, change of prices over time, a periodic inventory system does not provide a better record over the cost of inventory because it is only determined once in the accounting period, usually at the end of it.

    Meanwhile, a perpetual inventory system keeps a record showing the inventory at all time. That is every time a sale is made, cost of goods sold (cogs) is determined.

    So if a business does not need to wait until the end of the accounting period to check (cogs), it is better to use a perpetual system.
