The Effect Of Prepaid Taxes On Assets And Liabilities
Many businesses estimate tax liability and make payments throughout the year (often quarterly). When a company overestimates its tax liability, this results in the business paying a prepaid tax. Prepaid taxes will be reversed within one year but can result in prepaid assets and liabilities.
Final Accounts
Financial accounting is one of the branches of accounting in which the transactions arising in the business over a particular period are recorded.
Ledger Posting
A ledger is an account that provides information on all the transactions that have taken place during a particular period. It is also known as General Ledger. For example, your bank account statement is a general ledger that gives information about the amount paid/debited or received/ credited from your bank account over some time.
Trial Balance and Final Accounts
In accounting we start with recording transaction with journal entries then we make separate ledger account for each type of transaction. It is very necessary to check and verify that the transaction transferred to ledgers from the journal are accurately recorded or not. Trial balance helps in this. Trial balance helps to check the accuracy of posting the ledger accounts. It helps the accountant to assist in preparing final accounts. It also helps the accountant to check whether all the debits and credits of items are recorded and posted accurately. Like in a balance sheet debit and credit side should be equal, similarly in trial balance debit balance and credit balance should tally.
Adjustment Entries
At the end of every accounting period Adjustment Entries are made in order to adjust the accounts precisely replicate the expenses and revenue of the current period. It is also known as end of period adjustment. It can also be referred as financial reporting that corrects the errors made previously in the accounting period. The basic characteristics of every adjustment entry is that it affects at least one real account and one nominal account.

This template is designed for recording the closing entries typically needed at the end of the accounting period (e.g., July 31). It provides a structured format for closing revenue accounts, expense accounts, net income (or loss), and drawings.
**Notes on the Format:**
1. **Date:** The date of each journal entry, which in this template is standardized to July 31 for the close of the fiscal period.
2. **Account Titles and Explanation:** Specify the accounts being debited or credited and descriptions or rationale for the entry.
3. **Debit/Credit Columns:** Enter the respective amounts for debits and credits.
The purpose of these closing entries is to transfer the balances of temporary accounts (revenues and expenses) to permanent accounts (owners’ equity or retained earnings). This resets the balances of the temporary accounts so they start at zero in the next accounting period.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fafc75c11-f74c-4700-aac3-dcc346278078%2Fd8da30e9-231b-45ff-af1a-0fcb7fb5bf16%2F3nr5b24_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
![### Owner's Capital and Income Summary Ledger
On this educational page, we present two essential accounting ledgers: Owner's Capital (Account No. 301) and Income Summary (Account No. 350). These ledgers are critical for understanding how to record and review business transactions, particularly when closing the books at the end of an accounting period.
#### Owner's Capital Ledger (No. 301)
This ledger keeps track of the owner's equity in the business. Each entry should include the date, a brief explanation of the transaction, and the amounts of any debits and credits, along with the running balance.
| Date | Explanation | Debit | Credit | Balance |
|-----------|-------------|-------|--------|---------|
| July 31 | | | | |
| July 31 | | | | |
| July 31 | | | | |
- **Date**: Records the day the transaction occurred.
- **Explanation**: A brief description of the transaction.
- **Debit/Credit**: The amounts debited or credited to the owner's capital.
- **Balance**: The updated balance of the owner's capital after the transaction.
#### Income Summary Ledger (No. 350)
This ledger summarizes the income and expenses for a given period, ultimately determining the net income or loss that will be transferred to the Owner's Capital. It is used primarily during the closing process at the end of an accounting period.
| Date | Explanation | Debit | Credit | Balance |
|-----------|-------------|-------|--------|---------|
| July 31 | | | | |
| July 31 | | | | |
| July 31 | | | | |
- **Date**: Records the day the transaction occurred.
- **Explanation**: A brief description of the transaction.
- **Debit/Credit**: The amounts debited or credited to the income summary.
- **Balance**: The updated balance of the income summary after the transaction.
Each ledger features rows for at least three transactions on July 31st. These rows are designed to track the necessary details for maintaining accurate and comprehensive financial records.
#### Graphs and Diagrams
There are no graphs or diagrams in this ledger template. The template is focused solely on tabular data entry for accounting transactions.
