Question

Morris Company had the following adjusted trial balance:

Answer 1

Answer:

$38,100 ; $45,600 and $0

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

For amount transferred from the income summary account to the Retained Earnings account in the third closing entry i.e net income or net loss

As we know that

Net income = Total revenues - total expenses

Commission revenue $49,700

Rent revenue $7,300

Less: expenses

Depreciation expense - $5,200

Utilities expense -$8,600

Supplies expense -$5,100

Net income $38,100

The balance in retained earning account is

= Opening retained earning balance + net income - dividend paid

= $22,500 + $38,100 - $15,000

= $45,600

And, the balance in depreciation expense account is zero as this depreciation expense account is closed while closing the expenses account i.e utilities expense, supplies expense and depreciation expenses
