Students find difficulty in Balance sheet Population = Sample
Students of grade 11th A = 30 students
* Causes of problem
1. Basic rules are not clear
2. Students don’t take interest in topic
3. Students forgot to forward net profit in Balance sheet
4. Teachers teaching method accounts is not appropriate
5. Students don’t get enough practice of Balance sheet in accounts period
6. Teacher don’t give time to solve the doubts of students in class
