Explanation / Answer

27. Amount of change to Income Summary account for closing nominal accounts with a normal debit balance at July 1 = Beginning inventory $60000 + Sales returns $2200 + Sales discounts $500 + Purchases $42000 + Salaries expense $9200 + Office supplies expense $1300 + Insurance expense $700 + Advertising expense $600 + Bad debt expense $500 + Miscellaneous expense $400 + Depreciation expense $300 + Interest expense $300 = -118000

28. Amount of change to Income Summary account for closing Income Summary to Retained Earnings at July 1 = 132500 – 118000 = 14500
