Explanation:

Every business transaction  at Forever Green Lawn Service involves two or more accounts.  One or two are debited or credited as the case may be.  The general journal is used to record transactions as they occur while the general ledger records details about each account and summarizes the balances at the end of each accounting period into the trial balance.  Accounting records are based on the double-entry system and follow the accounting equation of Assets = Liabilities + Equity.
