is presented in Chapter 5. If the Chapter 2 and 3 segments have not been completed, the assignment

problem segments in Chapters 2 and 3, as well as the year-end adjusting entries. Prior to closing
the revenue and expense accounts for 2020, the accounting system is modified to include the
Income Summary account, which is given the number 901.
