Step-3: Trial balance, when all the posting in the ledger has been made from journal, next is
preparation of trial balance, here we prove the accuracy of our work before proceeding further.it
contain all debit and credit balance of account appearing in ledger, here all the debit and credit
record in single sheet consist of two column schedule listing name and balance, and the total of
debit must be equal to total of credit. It includes both balance sheet and income statement.
Step-4: in this question we use trial balance of previews question #1, means unadjusted trial
balance which already answered.
1) Adjusted entry
Step-6: After adjusted trial balance we prepare income statement which is statement of profit
and loss by using revenue and expenses, also we prepare balance sheet using Assets, Liability
and owner’s equity plus net income or need lost from income statement. In balance sheet also
total of asset must be equal to total of liability and owner’s equity.
Less: expenses
Step-7: closing entry, when we prepared financial statement, next step is closing entry, because
we have to close all temporary account or nominal account, we know that all temporary or
nominal account is consist of revenue and expenses we have to close those account, here the rule
is all credit such as revenue should enter to closing entry as debit, similarly all debit account such
as expenses should enter to closing entry as a credit.
Income summary Account: in cause of closing entry we prepare temporary account, is called
summary account. We create income summary in order to close all revenue and expenses, then
we have to close this income summary account into profit and loss account. Here we have to
create income summary account and then finished, this is why called temporary account.
4) Closing entry
Date Description Debit
Credit
Rental revenue $16,000
Income summary account $16,000
Income summary account $28,750
Salary expenses $20,000
Corolla car rental expenses $4,250
Depreciation expenses $2,500
Insurance expenses $2,000
When we close revenue and expenses account, we should close income summary account also.
Debit income summary A/C Credit 0
$28,750 $16,000
D/B $12,750
$28,750 $28,750
To make both side of income summary account equal, we have to Credit $12,750.
In order to close income summary account, we have to consider profit and loss account. As we
can see from closing entry expenses is more compare to revenue.
Step 8: After closing trial balance, here we have to consider same sequence, which we
considered in adjusted trial balance. Start from Asset, Liability and last one owner’s equity
except revenue and expenses which already closed in profit and loss account. Instead of revenue
and expenses, here we consider profit and loss account
