LESSON 16-2: Recording Closing Entries for Income Statement Accounts
• The income summary account is used only at the end of the fiscal period to summarize the closing entries for revenue, cost, and expenses.
• At the end of a fiscal period, temporary accounts are closed to prepare the general ledger for the next fiscal period.
• There are four kinds of closing entries:
1. To close income statement accounts with credit balances
2. To close income statement accounts with debit balances
3. To record net income or loss and close the income
summary account
4. To close the dividends account• Amounts needed for closing entries are obtained from the income
statement and balance sheet columns of the work sheet.

LESSON 16-2
THE INCOME SUMMARY ACCOUNT page 487
The income summary account is unique because it does not have a normal balance side. The balance of this account is determined by the amounts posted to the account at the end of a fiscal period.

LESSON 16-3: Preparing a Post-Closing Trial Balance
After all adjusting and closing entries have been posted, the only general ledger accounts that should have balances are the balance sheet accounts—assets, liabilities, and capital accounts.
The income statement accounts—revenue, cost, and expense accounts—plus the Dividends account should all have zero balances to start the new fiscal period.

LESSON 16-3
POST-CLOSING TRIAL BALANCE page 496
• After adjusting and closing entries have been posted, a post closing trial balance should be prepared to prove the equality of debits and credits in the general ledger.
• The post closing trial balance should contain only balances for asset, liability, and capital accounts. All revenue, cost, expense, and the Dividends accounts should have zero balances.
• The post closing trial balance should list all the balance sheet accounts in the order they are listed in the chart of accounts.
• The debit balance amounts should be listed in the first column and the credit balance amounts should be listed in the second column of the form.
• If the total debits equal total credits, then the equality of debits and credits is proved.
