Working Note:

Calculate the amount of RZ capital (transferred).

RZ Capital =(Total Revenues-Total Expenses)=($2,813$2,987)=$174(Loss)

Revenue account: In this closing entry, the referral fees account is closed by transferring the amount of referral fees account to Income summary account in order to bring the revenue account balance to zero. Hence, debit referral fees account and credit Income summary account.

Expense account: In this closing entry, all expense accounts are closed by transferring the amount of total expense to the Income summary account in order to bring the expense account balance to zero. Hence, debit the Income summary account and credit all expenses account.

Income summary account: Income summary account is a temporary account. This account is debited to close the net income value to RZ capital account.

RZ capital is a component of stockholders’ equity account. The value of RZ capital increased because net income is transferred. Therefore, it is credited.

Withdrawals account: RZ capital is a component of owner’s equity. Thus, owners ‘equity is debited since the capital is decreased on owners’ drawings.

RZ withdrawals are a component of owner’s equity. It is credited because the balance of owners’ withdrawals account is transferred to owners ‘capital account.

T-account: The condensed form of a ledger is referred to as T-account. The left-hand side of this account is known as debit, and the right hand side is known as credit.

Posting the closing entries to the T- account:
