Which inventory gets into the balance sheets- opening or closing inventory?
Since it is the balance sheet, which is generally prepared at the "end" of a financial period, it would be your closing inventory that goes onto the balance sheet. Once you have made all your adjusting entries and closing of accounts you prepare a Post Closing Trial Balance to check that all accounts remained balance. Since it is the "end" of the year and you are "closing" your books for the Fiscal Year, all adjusting entries are made, this includes taking inventory to get your closing inventory which goes onto your Post Closing Trial Balance and on your Balance Sheet.

To calculate the closing stock for a shop, you need to consider the beginning inventory, purchases made during the period, and sales made during the period. The closing stock is calculated by adding the beginning inventory and purchases made during the period, and then subtracting the sales made during the period. The remaining balance is the closing stock.

Why is closing stock written at credit side in trading account?
Closing stock or as it is also named as closing inventory is definitely an asset. But trading account is not the same as Inventory account. Inventory, being an asset, should have a debit balance in Inventory account. Trading account is a distinct account and both must not be mixed up together.The answer to the question "why closing stock is written on the credit side of the trading account" lies in understanding two points:First, Cost of sales must be matched up with current year's revenue and as the inventory at the end of the period has not been sold and thus should not be accounted against sales revenue, therefore it must be deducted from cost of sales. That is the conceptual reason why we deduct closing stock from the total of opening inventory and purchases.Second, in order to account for the inventory at the year end in the trading account, closing entry is passed and due to this closing entry closing stock appears at the credit side of trading account. This is the accounting reasonfor having it on the credit side. The closing entry is as follows:Debit: Inventory accountCredit: Trading accountInventory account is debited as inventory is still with the entity at the end of the period and is an asset so asset will be raised by debiting the inventory account.Students must understand that at the end of the period this asset is raised because usually it is not known how much stock is still with the entity until stock count and it was all treated as part of cost of sales i.e. trading expense against this period sales.But as it has not been traded that's why trading accounting in which cost of sales has been recorded it will be credited to give the correct information of the total inventory consumed in making current period's sales which is Opening Inventory + Purchases - Closing Inventory.

The cost of good sold by afirms was 20000 it maks a gross profit of 20 percent on saleif inventory at the beginning of the year was 4500 and the ending was 5500 what is inventory turnover ratio?
To calculate the inventory turnover ratio, you need to divide the cost of goods sold by the average inventory. To find the average inventory, add the beginning and ending inventory levels and divide by 2. In this case, the average inventory is (4500 + 5500) / 2 = 5000. The inventory turnover ratio would be 20000 / 5000 = 4.
