28 November 2013 Trial Balance Reflects the balance at the end of the period.

Closing Stock is also a Closing Balance of Inventory account if maintain in accounting term.

To get Closing Stock Cost of Goods Sold / Consumed is required.

In TB We have the opening balance, purchase account and abnormal loss of stock.

Cost of Goods Sold / Consumed is not ascertained by accounting entries instead of the value of closing stock is the driven factor of cost of goods sold / consumed.

Valuation of Closing stock is based on assumption of its expected value of recovery if sold.

Due to these two facts closing stock is represented as adjustment.
