A higher closing stock reduces the cost of sales, as it indicates that more inventory remains unsold at the end of the accounting period. This leads to a lower cost of goods sold (COGS) in the income statement, as COGS is calculated by adding purchases to opening stock and subtracting closing stock. Consequently, a higher closing stock can result in increased gross profit, affecting overall profitability.
