There is no standard GP/NP ratios. They differ from business to business from product to product and also depends on whether a trader is a Retailer or a Wholesaler.
"Closing stock" is the value of goods that are available as unsold stock as at the end of the financial period which is usually one year. You have to quantify the unsold stock and evaluate them.
