Among the accounts listed, "supplies" and "income" are considered permanent accounts, as they carry over their balances from one accounting period to the next. In contrast, "supplies expense," "fees," and "owner's drawing" are temporary accounts that are closed at the end of each accounting period. Temporary accounts are used to track financial activity for a specific period and reset to zero at the start of the next period.
