Explanation:

a) The General journal records the transactions as they occur on a daily basis, showing the accounts to be debited and the ones to be credited.

b) The house bought by Stockholder Jonah Lee is a personal transaction that does not relate to the company.  The entity concept that separates ownership from the business does not allow such personal transactions to be recorded in the accounting records of a company.

c) The balance sheet shows the assets and the owners of the financial resources used to acquire the assets.  It is always in balance, with assets equalling the liabilities and equity with the occurrence of each transaction.

answer; it can vividly demonstrate product attributes and persuasively explain their corresponding consumer benefits;

it's actually a very difficult task, due to not many people can make 2 million dollars in 2 years. besides that, to the not-so-realistic ideas, you can create a business. it could be practically anything, but make it into a business that isn't that known yet, you get me? also, lets not forget about stock market. that's where all the good stuff happens. use investments at the beginning and begin to raise up your business or whatever you're going to do. as this is a very non-realistic idea, it's still worth the shot!
