What type of inventory is usually done at the end of a month or period of time?

1. Manual inventory

2. Visual inventory

3. Physical inventory

4. Automated inventory

The correct answer is: Physical inventory

Physical inventory is usually done at the end of a month or period of time to assess the physical goods and products that are currently available in a physical location. This type of inventory involves physically counting and verifying the information manually to ensure accuracy. The other options are incorrect because they do not involve physically counting the goods, and are not typically done at the end of a month or period of time. Manual inventory involves manually recording and tracking inventory levels, visual inventory involves visually checking stock levels without a physical count, and automated inventory involves using technology or software to track inventory levels. While these methods may be used in conjunction with physical inventory, they do not adequately answer the question of what type of inventory is usually done at the end of a month or period of time.
