Explain the process of closing the books.

Closing the books occurs at the end of an accounting period. The process is to journalize and postclosing entries and then rule and balance all accounts. In closing the books, companies make separate
entries to close revenues and expenses to Income Summary, Income Summary to Owners Capital, and
Owners Drawings to Owners Capital. Only temporary accounts are closed.
