Hello, I have a question regarding chapter 3.
After closing income and expense accounts to the temporary income statement t-account, and once I’m done preparing the financial reports shouldn’t I finish closing the books by closing the temporary income statement t-account to capital, and also close drawings to the capital account?
For example:
1) Income Statement T-Account Dr. 400
Capital Cr. 400
To close the temporary income statement t-account2) Capital Dr. 100
Drawings Cr. 100
To close the drawings accountWouldn’t I do this to reflect the capital balance as shown in the balance sheet, and so that the capital account balance is correct for the next accounting period?

Thanks for resources. I am on a limited budget, and my end goal is to get the BSc in Applied Accounting, and I am hoping to finish by summer 2016!
I’m planning to use only open tuition, along with revision questions.
I find open tuition perfect for my goals. I can finish going through lectures and course notes (200-300 pages) on a much shorter time scale than for example a 500-600 course text from BPP. Open tuition is much more interactive, so I find I retain more!
Thanks again!
