Need to make a closing single journal entry

Wages: $200,000
Service Revenue: $250,000
Supplies Expense: $75,000
Retained Earnings: $525,000

Should it be:

Retained earnings $525,000
Wages $200,000
Service Revenue $250,000
Supplies Expense $75,000

Dr. Service Revenue 250,000
Dr. Retained Earnings 25,000
Cr. Supplies Expense 75,000
Cr. Wages (Expense) 200,000


Revenues and Expenses get closed to Retained Earnings. Retained Earnings NEVER gets closed.
