Learners read an explanation of the debits and credits of accounting as they relate to T accounts and the accounting equation. Illustrated examples are provided.
In this interactive object, learners read a brief summary of the principles of cash basis accounting and then check their knowledge of transactions in a drag-and-drop exercise.
Accounting Careers and Titles: Areas of Specialization
Learners read about the different kinds of positions available in the accounting field at private corporations, government agencies, and not-for-profit organizations.
Learners examine the 10 steps of the accounting cycle. The cycle begins with the analysis of source documents and ends with the post-closing trial balance and interpreting the financial information.
Solving Systems of Linear Equations Using the Substitution Method
In a series of practice problems, learners use the substitution method to solve systems of linear equations, also called "simultaneous linear equations."
Solving Systems of Linear Equations Using the Addition or Subtraction Method (Screencast)
In a series of practice problems, learners use the addition or subtraction method to solve systems of linear equations, also called "simultaneous linear equations."
Learners use the coefficients in a balanced equation to develop the mole ratios of reactants and products involved in the reaction. Five interactive examples illustrate the method, and students test their knowledge by working four problems.
Learners examine the main characteristics of the four financial statements required in accounting: the income statement, the owner's equity statement, the balance sheet, and the statement of cash flow.
In this accounting learning object, students follow the steps involved in the closing process. Temporary accounts contain ending balances for a specified period and must be closed.
Solving Equations that Contain Algebraic Fractions
