Prepare closing entries of Company B for the year ended December 31.

Explanation of Solution

Closing entries: The journal entries prepared to close the temporary accounts to Retained Earnings account are referred to as closing entries. The revenue, expense, and dividends accounts are referred to as temporary accounts because the information and figures in these accounts is held temporarily and consequently transferred to permanent account at the end of accounting year.

Prepare closing entries of Company B for the year ended December 31 as follows:

DateAccount Title and ExplanationPost ref.Debit ($)Credit ($)
December 31Income Summary 110,100
  Factory Overhead (Subsidiary ledger account) 110,100
 (To close the subsidiary factory overheads account) 
December 31Factory Overhead 110,100
  Income Summary 110,100
 (To close the factory overhead account) 
December 31Sales 410,200
 Interest revenue 640
  Income Summary 410,840
 (To close the sales and interest revenue account) 
December 31Income Summary 334,750
  Cost of Goods Sold 204,800
 Salaries expense 80,000
 Office supplies expense 3,700
 Bad debt expense 1,450
 Utilities expense-office 6,700
 Interest expense 9,200
 Income tax expense 28,900
 (To close all expenses account) 
December 31Income Summary 76,090
  Retained Earnings (1) 76,090
 (To close the income summary account) 

Table (2)

Closing entry for factory overhead:

The total debit balance of factory overhead account is transferred to the income summary account in order to bring the debit balance of factory overhead account to zero, and in the closing entry the income summary account is debited with $110,100, and the factory overhead account is credited (subsidiary ledger account) with $110,100.

The total credit balance of factory overhead account is transferred to the income summary account in order to bring the credit balance of factory overhead account to zero, and in the closing entry the factory overhead account is debited with $110,100, and the income summary account is credited with $110,100.

Closing entry for revenue account:

In this closing entry, the sales and interest revenue account is closed by transferring the amount of sales and interest revenue to the income summary account in order to bring the all revenue accounts balance to zero.  Hence, debit the all revenue account for $410,840, and credit the income summary account for $410,840.

Closing entry for expenses account:

In this closing entry, all expenses are closed by transferring the amount of all expenses to the income summary account in order to bring all the expense accounts balance to zero. Hence, debit the income summary account for $334,750, and credit all the expenses account for $334,750.

Closing entry for income summary account:

In this closing entry, the income summary account is closed by transferring the amount of net income to the retained earnings account in order to bring the income summary balance to zero.  Hence, debit the income summary account for $76,090, and credit the retained earnings for $76,090.

Working note (1):

Calculate the value of retained earnings.

Retained earnings =(Credit balance of income summary accountDebit balance of income summary account)=$410,840$334,750=$76,090

Explanation of Solution

Reversing entries: Reversing entries are made at the beginning of the accounting period when the accountant needs to cancel any entry made in the previous accounting period. It is done in order to eliminate any errors that might have occurred in the calculation of the revenue or expenses and henceforth increase the efficiency of the financial statements for an improved decision making.

Prepare the reversing entries of Company B as of January 1, 20-2 as follows:
