  2. Can you please explain why stocks are been debited for exercises 9.3 and 9.5. It’s my understanding that this is an equity account and should have a credit balance. I’m so confused. Thank you !

    • Im not good at explainations but I’ll give it a try so stock is basically the inventory you the owner hasn’t sold which means its automatically an asset to you and so the asset has a debit balance that’s why its on the debit side

  7. Why stock 17000 is not mentioned in solution for problem 3 please reply

    • Sneha there are two types of stock i.e. Opening Stock and Closing Stock. Opening stock is part of trial balance while, closing stock is part of adjustment. Rs. 17,000 stock is closing stock, that is why not shown in solution.
