Solution

The correct answer is "a credit to Retained Earnings for $1310."

Here's why:

At the end of the accounting period, the net income or loss is transferred to the Retained Earnings account through the Income Summary account. This is done by closing the Income Summary account.

In this case, Coronado Enterprises has a net income of 1310.ThismeansthattheIncomeSummaryaccounthasacreditbalanceof1310. This means that the Income Summary account has a credit balance of 1310 (since revenues exceed expenses).

To close the Income Summary account, we need to zero out its balance. Since it has a credit balance, we do this by debiting Income Summary for $1310.

The other side of this entry is a credit to the Retained Earnings account. This increases the Retained Earnings account balance, reflecting the fact that the company has retained these earnings (i.e., it has not distributed them as dividends).

So, the entry to close Income Summary to Retained Earnings includes a credit to Retained Earnings for $1310.
