The four types of businesses are discussed: service, merchandising, manufacturing, and financial services. The lesson also covers forms of business ownership and how business activities, resources, and events affect business transactions. The focus of the accounting equation, A = L + OE, is explained in detail using an example of a local photo store called Beauty Photo Store.
