The owner’s equity accounts are the owner’s capital account and the owner’s drawing account. During the year the income statement accounts (revenues, expenses, gains, losses), the owner’s drawing account, and the income summary accounts are considered to be temporary owner’s equity accounts, because at the end of the year the balances in these temporary accounts will be transferred to the owner’s capital account.
