For Learning purpose, treat Opening stock as an EXPENSE and Closing stock as your INCOME, so whenever Closing stock is overstated it means our income has been increased and vice versa. And if Opening stock has been overstated then it means your expenses are increased..obviously it means our profit is decreased ! GOT IT !
