Every acct on adj trial bal is used only once in creating first 3 financial stmts.
Point of closing is to bring RE up to date - in doing that, we zero out temp accts.
4 kinds of closing entries:
1) close out Revenue - debit Rev CR Income Summ (normal credit bal) (only exists long enough for closing entries) - companies may be closing hundreds of rev or exp accts
2) close out Expense accts - list every single acct DR Income Summ CR Exp accts
3) DR Income Summ CR Retained Earnings
4) DR Retained earnings - return of equity, has nothing to do with production (“Income” Summ does)
CR Dividends (always has deb bal)
Ex3-14:
1) DR Revenue 340,000 CR Sales discounts 8000 CR Sales RtA 13000 CR Income Summ (340,000-8,000-13,000)
You can chose to close Sales disc and Sales RtA when closing expenses. However, they aren’t expenses-they are contrarevenue accts. If closing w/exp, distinguish that I closed both expenses and contra-revenue accts. Don’t close them as expenses.
2) DR Income Summ 302,000 CR C/G/S CR Ins Exp CR Rent Exp CR Salaries and Wages
Freight-in & freight-out (shipping exp-seller is paying cost to get merch out of their bldg and to customer-when seller pays freight, it’s an exp) CR Freight-out
3) DR Income Summ 17,000
CR Retained Earnings 17,000
Side-note: Current liab - current maturity of LT-debt, LT-debt bal that isn’t due is all that is shown as LT-debt. Any LT-debt that’s currently due must show up on bal sheet as current liab. (will study in 2303)

    “Adjusting entries ensure that revenue recognition and matching principles are followed (Kimmel P. 3.4).” Revenue recognition means that revenue should be recognized at the time the revenue was earned. Matching principle is when the expense that was put into making that revenue is recognized when the revenue occurs. Adjusting entries are important because when making a trial balance at any time it is not a for sure that all the entries are up to date so adjusting is required. Adjusting entries are either made in the deferrals section or accruals. Deferrals are when cash is given or received but the work for the cash has not been done.

    A chart of accounts (COA) is essentially a set of codes for the consistent classification of financial information. This allows for the systematic production of decision-useful accounting information for management, such as budgeting, monitoring, and management reporting. Similarly, a standard COA helps to ensure comparability in external financial reporting. The COA facilitates the recording of all transactions, which are filtered into a unique account code, based on certain criteria. While this criteria is influenced both by internal management needs as well as regulatory requirements, many common types of codes would always be…
