A closing entry is when data in the temporary accounts, is transferred to the permanent balance sheet, or to the income statement accounts.
no
Yes it is. Permanent accounts are balance sheet accounts which do not close at the end of the accounting year, as opposed to income statement account balances which are removed an added to retained earnings. Another words income statement accounts are measured for a certain period of time whereas balance sheet accounts carry on to the following years.
The trial balance is a list of all T-accounts with a balance. That means that permanent T-accounts (assets, liability and equity T-accounts) and temporary T-accounts (dividends, expenses and revenues) are included. Reporting the trial balance would mean that the readers (internally and externally) would have to separate the permanent and temporary T-accounts themselves in order to make the balance sheet (info on financial statement) and income statement (info on performance).
Assets, Liabilities, and Stockholder's Equity are all permanent accounts.
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'.
A balance sheet, also called a "statement of financial position", reveals a company's assets, liabilities and owners' equity (net worth). The balance sheet, together with the income statement and cash flow statement are used to identify/gauge a company's financial status or position. If you are a shareholder of a company, it is important that you understand how the balance sheet is structured, how to analyze it and how to read it.

Answer:The trial balance shows a list of all T-accounts with a balance. These include all permanent T-accounts (will make up the balance sheet) and all temporary T-accounts (expenses, revenues and dividends/withdrawals). Each T-account has either a debit balance or a credit balance. The sum of all debit and credit balances must be equal; in case it isn't equal, some journal entry has not been updated correctly on the T-accounts.
