Explanation
Answer - E - Revenue and expense accounts are both closed to the income summary during the month-end closing process.

Key Takeaway: Revenue, expense, and capital withdrawal (dividends within a corporation) are temporary accounts that are reset at the end of the accounting period so they will have a zero balance at the start of the next accounting period. This is done by closing entries to transfer temporary accounts to permanent accounts.
