Doug Riley is the only accountant employed at Carmen Enterprises. When asked by the company president if the financial statements had been prepared yet, Doug answered that he had completed all of his work except the preparation of the statements. He

added that the net income that would appear on the current income statement would be $392,180. Identify the two instances where Doug would have determined the net income before he actually prepared the financial statements.


Going through the steps of the accounting cycle, Doug would have first learned of the period's net income when he prepared a work sheet. Later, while preparing the closing entries, the same net income figure would appear as the amount transferred from Income Summary to Retained Earnings in what is typically the third closing entry. Both of these procedures would precede the actual preparation of the financial statements.
