2. The main characteristics of the balance sheet and the income statement and the relationship between the two statements:

The balance sheet is a financial statement that records the outstanding balances of assets, liabilities, and equity at the end of a period.  It states the closing balances that are permanent and transferrable to the next accounting period.  The income statement is a financial statement that records the revenue, expenses, and income for the period.  The temporary closing balances are taken to this statement in order to determine the net income.

The relationship between the two statements is that the net income or loss that is extracted from the income statement is taken to the balance sheet.  The two statements are end-of-period financial statements that determine the financial profitability and the financial position (assets, liabilities, and equity) of the business.

Explanation:

In this instance, the template for adding and subtracting amounts in the rows is not available.  So the transactions have been recorded using the journal.  Most importantly, note that, each transaction increases or reduces the assets, the liabilities, and the equity, as the case may be.
