Chewie · Answer 1

Debit of $7150 to Service Revenues and a credit to the Income summary $7150

Explanation:

When the income statement is to be closed, the revenue and the expenses are closed to the income summary account which will in turn be closed to the retained earnings account.

As such, to close these accounts, the revenue account which is ordinarily a credit balance is debited and the corresponding credit goes to the income summary.

The expense accounts are credited while the debit follows through to the income summary account
