The following TAG illustrates all of the elements of the accounting
equation in trial balance order. It also incorporates the basic chart of accounts
numbering system that is found in the Excel GLRG file that you can
download from this site.

The next TAG is the heart of the "TAG PACKAGE". It appears to focus on just cash
transactions, but it can be used to illustrate the flow of all transactions in a business. If
I ran a cafe for business people I would print this on my napkins. Movers and shakers
from miles around would come in to discuss their business plans with my napkins!

Students always have a difficult time visualizing individual transactions. The following TAG solves that problem. I think I would print this on the other side of my napkins!

I think the last TAG here should be on the menu for Patten's Cafe. If you have comments or questions about the TAG PACKAGE that also includes the Excel files that I have included on this site please send them by email. I would especially invite inquiries from faculty.
