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 M for the year ended December 31 as follows:

DateAccount Title and ExplanationPost ref.Debit ($)Credit ($)
December 31Income Summary 112,500 
  Factory Overhead (Subsidiary ledger account)  112,500

  Retained Earnings (1)  65,190
 (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 $112,500, and the factory overhead account is credited (subsidiary ledger account) with $112,500.

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 $112,500, and the income summary account is credited with $112,500.

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 $394,830, and credit the income summary account for $394,830.

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 $329,640, and credit all the expenses account for $329,640.

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 $65,190, and credit the retained earnings for $65,190.
