If u purchase a trading item it is debited to your purchase a/c and credited to crs/bank a/c and correspondingly the closing stock value increases. So in the trading a/c u have purchase and so u need to credit the stock in the P & L a/c so that the correct picture is seen of the trading a/c. Secondly the stock is your asset and every credit has a debit we need to debit the stock and since the same is your asset the same is shown in the balance sheet on the asset side.

closing stock also has debit balance only since the same only becomes opening stock in the next year.
why closing stock is shown in the balance sheet has the follwiing reasons:
1. while determining correct profit we have to evaluate and segregate unutilised stocks which are charged off to revenue.
2. those segregated items are shown as credit item in P&L account to reverse/neutralise the cost charged to P&L A/c.
3. since opening stock is utilised during the current year, it gets its value exhausted and the clsoing stock replace it with a fresh value of the stocks at the year end.
4. stock is an asset and hence shown as such in the balance sheet
5. stock is not an expense and hence shown on credit side of P&L
