The answer is income summary.
Included in net income are the following: 1. All revenue-related accounts, e.g. Sales, service revenue, interest income, rental income, etc. 2. All expense-related accounts, e.g. Purchases, Depreciation, Rental expense, Maintenance expense, Amortization, Utilities expenses, etc. Net income = Revenues - Expenses

Any account on the balance sheet is a permanent account - 'Cash', 'Accounts Receivable', 'Accounts Payable'. Income and expense accounts are temporary accounts because they are closed at the end of an accounting period. Examples are: 'Service Revenue', 'Office Expense', and, my personal favourite, 'Meetings and Entertainment Expense'.
The following will increase: Expense and Revenue Accounts Cost of Goods Sold - Credited Sales Revenue - Credited Balance Sheet Accounts Assets Accounts Accounts Receivable or Cash depending on payment terms will be debited
Temporary accounts are like your revenue, expense, owner's drawing accounts and the income summary. Permanent accounts are like your assets, liability, and most of owner's equity accounts.
The Chart of Accounts is the system of accounts that make up the General Ledger. This begins with our assets starting with the most liquid (cash) and numbered usually as follows. 1000 - 1999: asset accounts 2000 - 2999: liability accounts 3000 - 3999: equity accounts 4000 - 4999: revenue accounts 5000 - 5999: cost of goods sold 6000 - 6999: expense accounts 7000 - 7999: other revenue (for example, interest income) 8000 - 8999: other expense (for example, income taxes)
Typically, nominal accounts are closed on a periodic basis..iincome and expense are nominal accounts. Real accounts ...such as cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable are real accounts are not closed and are carried forward to subsequenr periods.
