She's created scarves, blankets, hats, and even winter socks. She's currently thinking about turning her hobby into a full blown business, but she knows nothing about where or how to get started. She isn't even sure if anyone would be interested in her knitted goods. She has contacted you to help her make sense of everything, because she knows you are a dedicated Accounting student. Please help your Great Aunt Mildred answer her questions. Please complete parts 1-4 in a Word document and part 5 in an Excel document. For further project guidelines and requirements (including proper grammar and spelling-5 points), refer to the project grading rubric 1.

Can you explain to me all three main elements of the accounting equation and at least two types of accounts that would fall into each element? (15 points) 4. The bank says that the only way I can receive a loan is to present financial statements to them, but I've never created anything more than a bank deposit slip before! Can you explain each of the four financial statements to me (in proper order) and tell me how they are all interrelated? Can you also explain the differences between current and long-term and how those concepts relate to the elements in the financial statements? (15 points) 5.
