If Opening Stock is undervalued, this will result in your Cost of Sales being understated and therefore Gross and Net Profit being overstated. Of course, since Opening Stock in this period is the last period's Closing Stock, this would mean that Closing Stock in the last period was understated too, meaning that Net Profit in the last period was understated. That doesn't make it OK though!
A business remaining stock at the end of an accounting period is known as closing stock. It may include the finished goods, raw material and work in process and it is also deducted from the periods costs in the balance sheet. however sales in the trading a/c do have an effect on the gross profit and hence in the profit and loss a/c for the net profit. An increase or decrease in closing stock will have an effect on the net profit..if closing stock increase the gross profit will increse and vice versa. As the gross profit will increase the firm will able to deduct more expenses from it and hence the remaining will be the net profit.( increase)
this is overvaluing of closing stock --> gross profit overstate --> net profit overstated. current assets overstated.
before we find gross profit ,after we got net profit
