To close the expenses for the period ending June 30, 2024, for Estella Real Estate Appraisal, you need to transfer the total expenses to the Income Summary account. This process is part of the closing entries in accounting, which helps in preparing the accounts for the next accounting period.

Here is how you can close the expenses:

  1. Identify the Expenses: From the adjusted trial balance, the expenses that need to be closed are:

    • Insurance Expense: $4,800
    • Salaries Expense: $30,000
    • Supplies Expense: $400
    • Interest Expense: $8,000
    • Utilities Expense: $2,900
    • Depreciation Expense-Building: $7,900
  2. Calculate the Total Expenses: Add up all the expenses to find the total amount to be transferred to the Income Summary account. \[ \text{Total Expenses} = 4,800 + 30,000 + 400 + 8,000 + 2,900 + 7,900 = 54,000 \]

  3. Journal Entry to Close Expenses: The journal entry to close these expenses would be:

    • Debit Income Summary: $54,000
    • Credit Insurance Expense: $4,800
    • Credit Salaries Expense: $30,000
    • Credit Supplies Expense: $400
    • Credit Interest Expense: $8,000
    • Credit Utilities Expense: $2,900
    • Credit Depreciation Expense-Building: $7,900

This entry effectively transfers the total expenses to the Income Summary account, which will later be used to determine the net income or loss for the period. After this, the expense accounts will have a zero balance, ready for the next accounting period.
