Training Room 2 Summary

This is a very important training room, because it provides you with the basics of analyzing transactions. You will build on this concept in the rest of the course, as well as completing any transactions in other courses, or in the workplace.

This room focused on the permanent accounts of assets, liabilities, and capital. The next training room shows you how to use T-accounts to analyze the temporary capital accounts of drawing, revenue, and expenses as a business continues its day-to-day activities.
