In the real world, everyone will encounter business opportunities.  It is strongly recommended that anyone who may pursue a career in business should take Accounting I, the study of fundamental principles of accounting.  Students will learn to journalize transactions and from these, prepare a trial balance and complete a worksheet.  They will use this information to prepare income statements, capital statements, and balance sheets which will be used to analyze the progress of a business and aid in the decision making process.  Manual and computerized business simulations bring the content into the realm of reality.
