Explanation:
The income statement of Accel provides a brief overview of temporary accounts that are not transferred to the next accounting period. These accounts are utilized to measure the financial performance of the consulting firm, including revenues and the associated expenses.
The retained earnings statement of Accel illustrates the difference between the accumulated net income over the years for a longstanding business and the distributed dividends from this income to shareholders. For Maria Gomez's consulting enterprise, this statement indicates the remaining funds after dividend payments for December.
Finally, Accel's balance sheet is necessary to present the firm's financial standing. It displays what the company possesses as assets, what it owes in liabilities for unpaid services, and the equity held by the owner, Maria.
