Closing entries are used to move balances from temporary accounts to permanent baccounts so that a business can recognise income or loss made during an accounting period.

2/3 profit and loss is for Dana, that is (2/3)* 30,000= $20,000

1/3 of profit is assigned to Emile that is (1/3)* 30,000= $10,000

So the close out entries will be

A debit to income summary of $30,000

A credit to Dana of $20,000

A credit to Emile of $10,000
