Explanation:

As we know that

The closing entries are shown below:

1. Sales Revenue A/c Dr $75,000

To Income Summary A/c $75,000

(Being revenue account closed)

2. Income summary A/c Dr $62,000

To Expenses A/c $62,000

(Being the expenses accounts are closed)

3. Income summary A/c Dr $13,000 ($75,000 - $62,000)
