Welcome to Takin' Care of Business

What do going away to college, starting a new job, and running a business have in common? Managing MONEY! In this course students will learn how to manage their finances and use credit wisely, whether they are going away to college, starting a new job, or running a business.

Students will use generally accepted accounting principles in Part A as they learn how to manage a service business operating as a sole proprietorship; in Part B a merchandising business operating as a partnership; and in Part C a not-for-profit business organized as a corporation. As a final project, students will set up a simulated business and bring it through one complete business cycle. Students will learn to use QuickBooks with the Reinforcement activities and the final projects.

Grades are based on chapter problems, class projects, discussions, test, quizzes, final project, and effort. Learn how to take care of your financial future now.

Below are the class expectations:
