Solution
The correct option is A Purchases
The closing stock represents the cost of unsold goods lying in the stores at the end of the accounting period. The adjustment with regard to the closing stock is done by crediting it to the trading and profit and loss account and by showing it on the asset side of the balance sheet. The closing stock of the year becomes the opening stock of the next year and is reflected on the trial balance of the next year. Sometimes, the opening and closing stock are adjusted through the purchases account. In this case, the entry recorded is as follows:Closing Stock A/c Dr. To Purchases A/c
