as per Accounting and finance concept whatever ends having closing balance that is the opening balance of next year it's very clear for me...

... for an example if I am having opening stock rupees 10 lakh my purchases is 3 lakh and my sales is 4 lakh so the closing stock will be 9 lakh this is correct assumption

some people's making Trading account closing stock is more than opening stock.. this is correct manner???


could you please guide me the opening stock closing stock as per Accounting how we should have to show in final accounts

Closing stock= Opening stock- sales+Purchases

Hence, Closing stock=10lakh-4lakh+3lakh

           Closing stock=9 lakhs.

@ sneha latha mam , thank you mam,

Hence, Closing stock=10lakh-4lakh+3lakh

           Closing stock=9 lakhs.

this is the basic methodology to assume closing stock in Accounting????? mam

Yes, this is the way to arrive to closing stock

The above formula works only in trading business. For manufacturing consumption needs to be considered. Even in trading business depending on the scenario closing stock can be more than opening stock. There is no restriction that in every case it has to be less.
@ thank you very much CA altamush Zafar sir..
This is not correct as profit on sale of product is not considered while calculate Closing stock.

Correct Formula is

Opening Stock + Purchase + Gross Profit - Sales = Closing Stock

  @ Rashmi Gandhi mam thank you so much my honourable mam
