he "Closing Stock a/c" gives the information relating to the value of the stock (as an asset) unsold at the end of the accounting period. • Recording The value of closing stock is not available ready hand in the books of accounts. It is specifically ascertained at the end of the accounting period by physical verification of stock and its valuation at cost or market price whichever is lower. Thus, by recording the journal entry for Closing Stock, we are in effect bringing the value of Closing Stock into books. » Debit : Closing Stock a/c Accounts representing assets are real accounts and show a debit balance. Since by recording the journal entry for bringing the value of closing stock into books, we are creating an asset by name "Closing Stock a/c" we debit that account. [Closing Stock a/c – Real a/c – Debit what comes in.] » Credit : There are three possible variations in the account to be credited for recording the value of closing stock. Trading a/c Goods Consumed a/c Purchases a/c The ledger account to be credited is dependent on which account is used to reflect the value of cost of goods sold as well as the time of recording the entry. read less
