Q & A

What is the purpose of the closing journal entries in accounting?

The purpose of the closing journal entries is to reset the balances of nominal accounts, such as revenues and expenses, to zero at the end of the accounting period. This allows for the calculation of net income or loss and ensures that the new period starts with no balances carried over from the previous one.

How are expense accounts closed in the journal?

Expense accounts are closed by debiting the 'Income Summary' account and crediting each individual expense account with the amount of its balance. This action effectively transfers the balance of the expense account to the Income Summary.

What happens when income accounts are closed in the journal?

Income accounts are closed by debiting the 'Income Summary' account and crediting the revenue accounts with the balance of each. This process eliminates the revenue balances for the period and transfers them to the Income Summary account.

What is the function of the Income Summary account in the closing process?

The Income Summary account is a temporary account used during the closing process. It accumulates the balances of revenue and expense accounts. After all revenue and expenses are transferred to it, the final balance in the Income Summary reflects the net income or loss for the period, which is then transferred to the owner's equity account.

How is the owner's drawing account (PR) closed in the journal?

The owner's drawing account is closed by debiting the owner's capital account and crediting the drawing account for the amount of the balance. This eliminates the drawing account's balance for the period.

What is the final step in the closing process for the profit or loss account?

The final step is to close the Income Summary account by transferring the balance (whether profit or loss) to the owner's capital account. If there is a profit, the capital account is credited, and if there is a loss, the capital account is debited.

What is the purpose of preparing the post-closing trial balance?

The post-closing trial balance ensures that all the temporary accounts have been properly closed and that the general ledger is in balance. It includes only the permanent accounts, such as assets, liabilities, and equity, after all closing entries have been made.

What is the importance of the adjusted trial balance in the closing process?

The adjusted trial balance provides the starting point for the closing entries. It includes all adjustments made during the period and is used to verify that all accounts are correctly balanced before proceeding with the closing entries.

How does the post-closing trial balance help in preparing financial statements?

The post-closing trial balance serves as the basis for preparing financial statements, particularly the balance sheet. It ensures that the balances in the accounts reflect the correct amounts after the closing entries, providing accurate financial data for the statement.

What is the purpose of reversing journal entries, and how are they applied?

Reversing journal entries are made at the beginning of the new accounting period to reverse the effects of certain adjusting entries from the previous period. This simplifies the recording of regular transactions in the new period by re-establishing the original balances of the affected accounts.
