Which account would be listed on a post-closing trial balance?
a. Sales Revenue
b. Depreciation Expense
c. Retained Earnings
d. Income Tax Expense.

Respuesta :

Answer: c. Retained Earnings

Explanation:

The post-closing trial balance reflects balance sheet items that do not have a $0 balance in them when a period has ended and is prepared after the temporary accounts have been closed off. The purpose is to make sure that the debits equal the credits.

As there are no temporary accounts, all income statement items will have been closed off and moved to the Retained earnings account which will reflect the total for the income statement for the year. The only account that will be listed in the post-closing trial balance therefore will be the Retained earnings account.
