What does the term 'deadstock' refer to in inventory terms?

• A. Inventory you cannot get to
• B. Damaged goods
• C. Perishable stock
• D. Excess stock

Answer: (A)

Deadstock is inventory that isn’t selling and isn’t expected to sell quickly. It represents stock that ties up capital because demand is very low or absent, rather than being about the physical condition or accessibility of the items. In other words, it’s excess or slow-moving stock that may become obsolete or difficult to sell over time. It’s not simply “unreachable” inventory, nor is it defined by being damaged or perishable.
