    The first closing entry transfers credit balances in revenue (and gain) accounts to the income summary accounts.

    Dec 31 Fees Earned $56,000 Dr

    Income Summary $56,000 Cr

    We bring account credit balances to zero by debiting them. The entry closes revenue accounts and leaves them with zero balances. The accounts are now ready to record revenues when they occur in the next period.
