This process is carried out at the end of the financial year to prepare the accounting process for the following year. In order to close the ledgers , the accountant brings several different types of account balances to zero by placing the records in the journal. This process is completed after all transactions for the year have been published and financial statements have been completed. Close your income accounts. The first step in the closing process is to perform and place the log entries to close the income accounts. The log entries are written in the company's general journal and are placed in the company's general book , which presents it with a book containing all accounts and business balances. To close the income accounts , post debits on each income account for the full balance in each of them. Post a loan to an account called Income Summary. This is a temporary account that is only used for the closing process. This record leaves each income account on a zero balance. Close all expense accounts. For each expense account , write and post a record in the journal that credits each account for the full balance in each. Debit the total amount in your income resume. This entry can be completed in one step instead of placing a separate entry for each expense account. This record leaves all expense accounts on a zero balance. Balance the Account Summary of Income. If there is a credit balance in this account , it represents the net profit of the company. If it has a debit balance , it represents a net loss. Close the account With the Income Summary , either by writing it off or by lendinging it , depending on the balance it contains. You have to do the opposite of where the balance is. For example , if you have a $10 ,000 debit balance in your Income Summary account , you must pay that amount. The opposite record then goes to the owner's equity account. Close the drawing account. The final step in the closing process is used to close the owner's drawing account. This account tracks everything attracts business owners to do throughout the year. To close this account by writing off the owner's own capital account and lending the drawing account for the entire amount contained in it. After writing all the transactions in a shared log , be sure to place them in a shared book to update all account balances. Companies rent buildings and equipment for use in their business without taking on the cost of building equipment on their own. These leases last for several years and can be classified in two ways , as capital leases or as operating leases. In capital leases , the tenant records the rental property as an asset and lease obligations as an accounting obligation To qualify as a rental capital , the lease must transfer ownership to the tenant , include a purchase purchase transaction more than 75 per cent of the asset's lifespan or current value , greater or equal to 90 per cent of the fair market value of the asset. When initiating a lease , the tenant records the debit into a fixed asset account and the loan on the lease obligation. Throughout the life of the lease , the tenant records depreciation costs by writing off depreciation and crediting the accumulated depreciation. The company records each lease payment by writing off rental obligations and interest costs and lending cash. The tenant considers the lease of capital as a sale. When the lease comes into force , lessor writes off leasing receivables and lends fixed assets. Every time a company receives a payment , the company reduces receivables by lessee. Lessor records debit on cash and loan for receivables. Operating leases do not meet any of the criteria that should be considered capital leases. The tenant uses the asset for the duration of the lease and returns the asset to the tenant at the end of the lease.
