The Drawing account is debited directly to the Capital account. So the Income Summary account will have a credit (gain) balance of $3,000. This will be transferred to the Capital account as a credit. Drawing will be transferred to the Capital account as a debit. At the end of closing, the Capital account will have a credit balance of $28,800.
