The final step of the accounting cycle is the closing process. The main goal of this stage of the cycle is to ensure that the balance of each temporary account is returned to zero and that net income is transferred to the owner's capital account. The first step in successfully undertaking the closing process is to understand the difference between a temporary account and a permanent account. Roscoe has some questions about the process. Answer the following questions (1) - (3). 1. If a temporary account has an ending balance of $57,000, what is its beginning balance for the following accounting period? If there is no amount or an amount is zero, enter “0”.   2. If a permanent account has an ending balance of $57,000, what is its beginning balance for the following accounting period?   Roscoe has attempted to prepare the closing entries for Chandler Company on the Roscoe’s Journal panel. He’s not sure if he’s entered the journal entries correctly, and asks you to review them. You find that one entry is correct, but the other is incorrect. Refer to the Chart of Accounts for exact wording of account titles. Determine which entry is incorrect, and journalize both closing entries for Chandler Company as of Dec. 31 in the following journal. Question not attempted.

Also, the post-closing trial balance is meant to ensure that debits equal credits post-close. Roscoe is very happy with your work on the closing entries for Chandler Company, and asks if you would prepare a post-closing trial balance for the company.
