CRITICAL THINKING PROBLEM 6.2

1. Reed made the following errors preparing the closing entries:


a. Accumulated Depreciation and Accounts Payable are permanent accounts that continue from accounting
period to accounting period and, consequently, are not closed.
b. The Drawing account is not an expense account to be closed to Income Summary but is a reduction of equity
and is closed directly to the Capital account.

Wilson Reed closed accounts based on what kind of balance they had (debit/credit) rather than looking at the
type of account (permanent/temporary) they were. Only temporary, or nominal, accounts are closed.

CRITICAL THINKING PROBLEM 6.2 (continued)

Note: It is not necessary to make an entry to correct the closing of the Drawing account to the Income Summary
account. Closing the Drawing account to the Income Summary account, which in turn was closed to the Capital
account, results in reducing the Capital account by the amount of the withdrawals. So, while incorrect, Reed’s
entry with regard to Drawing achieves the correct end result.

The balance of the Capital account after closing entries have been posted must agree with the ending Capital
balance as shown. Posting the entry closing the Income Summary account increases the Capital account by the
amount of the net income (or decreases it by the amount of a net loss), while posting the entry closing the
Drawing account decreases the Capital account. These postings reflect the same changes to Capital that are
shown on the statement of owner’s equity and on the balance sheet, and therefore, the ending Capital amount
must be the same for both.

Note that the errors Reed made in preparing the closing entries would not be revealed by the postclosing
trial balance. Since each entry Reed made had equal debits and credits, the postclosing trial balance
would be in balance. The errors would not become evident until the next year when postings were made to the
Accumulated Depreciation and Accounts Payable accounts or when the ledger account balances were
compared to the balance sheet amounts.

Business Connections
Managerial Focus:
1. No. A thorough analysis of the components of the income statement would reveal how costs directly impact
net income. The balance sheet helps determine the amount of the firm’s assets and its liquidity, liabilities,
and equity.
2. Current assets compared with current liabilities.
3. Timely preparation of financial statements support future planning, prompt payment of debts, developing
effective credit policies.
4. The income statement might help determine the adequacy of profit, how to improve revenue and hold down
expenses, how to reduce expenses without decreasing revenue, and how to even out the business operating
cycle. Balance sheet data might influence decisions concerning growth of equity, the return on investment,
adequacy of the firm’s assets, whether collections on accounts receivable should be accelerated, and
whether more capital is needed.

Ethical Dilemma:
You should wait to verify the invoice is an actual invoice. At the end of the year, Miscellaneous Expense will be
closed and the $1,000 expense will be in the previous year and not given the verification it so badly needs.

Analyze Online:
Answers will vary depending on the year.

Extending the Thought:


Answers will vary. Students may suggest that skipping the preparation of the worksheet will increase the
chance for errors in the accounting records.

Business Communication:
Students’ reports will vary. Students should demonstrate an understanding of the types of accounts that should
be closed at the end of an accounting period.

Team Work:
1) Analyze transactions, 2) journalize the data about transactions, 3) post the data about transactions, 4) prepare
a worksheet, 5) prepare financial statements, 6) record adjusting entries, 7) record closing entries, 8) prepare a
postclosing trial balance, and 9) interpret the financial information.

Internet Connection:
1. Requirements Experience: At least 2 years full-time experience or the part-time or freelance equivalent.
2. Examination: Candidates must pass a 4-part national examination, including 2 parts given at any Prometric
Test Center (there are over 300 nationwide).
3. Code of Ethics: Applicants must sign a Code of Ethics.
