Randi Leonard BeforeThere are 4 steps to closing the ledger. These are Steps One and Two:Closing entries transfer the balances of all temporary accounts to a permanent account and leave them zeroed out and ready for the next fiscal period.

Step 1 Closes the temporary accounts with credit balances to Income Summary. In this example it is the Sales, Purchases Discounts and Purchases Returns and Allowances accounts. You then sum the total of all debits and credit that amount to the Income Summary accountStep 2 Closes the temporary accounts with debit balances to Income Summary. In this example it is the Sales Discount, Sales Returns and Allowances, Purchases, Transportation In, and all expense accounts.

Many video games are now designed with animation, voice (of the character), and subtitles below of exactly what the on-screen character is saying. When I asked my son which he does, listen or read the conversation, he says he listens mainly, but that the text doesnt distract him. Is there something about virtual games that, because they are real have less of a distraction to the reader?Randi Leonard Question/Comment
