A journal entry shows a change (gives the change, not the total of an account). A t-account keeps a running total, unlike a journal entry. Trial balances start with current asset, then the longterm asset, then current liability, then longterm liabilities, then expenses. Net income is an estimate/opinion because you don"t know how much a company will really make by the very end.
