Describe the difference between temporary and permanent accounts, and state which ones are closed.

What will be an ideal response?


Temporary accounts (revenues, expenses and dividends) collect information about a single period only; they are closed at the end of that period (that is, after closing, their balances will equal zero). Permanent accounts include the balance sheet accounts (assets, liabilities, common stock and retained earnings); their balances roll forward each year rather than being closed out.
