My answer is false.

 

In a periodic system ending can only be determined when inventories are actually counted for the purpose of computing the cost of goods sold. Though records could assess the estimates of remaining inventories but it will not show what has been stolen, damaged or wasted.

False. The periodic inventory system allows a company to record sales of merchandise in a special account. When merchandise gets sold, the company records the revenue but does not record a cost of goods sold (CoGS) entry.
