This manual is for BUS FPX 2061 Assessment 2, start to submission. In current courserooms, Assessment 2 of Accounting Fundamentals is a template of questions and problems on the accounting cycle: the steps in recording and posting a business transaction, source documents, which steps happen throughout the period and which at its end, journal entries, ledgers and the trial balance. The grade turns on getting the cycle right. Accurate entries and clear explanations of each step score above definitions alone. Below is the method our tutors use, a structure that maps to the criteria, and an annotated sample excerpt. Prefer to hand it off? A premium original sample for this exact assessment comes back in 24 to 48 hours, revised free until it meets the guide. Capella's catalog lists the course as BUS-FPX2061, and some courserooms print BUS2061; both point to this same Assessment 2.
One honesty note before the manual: Capella revises courses and scoring guides over time, so always write to the exact scoring guide attached to your assessment in the courseroom. The course identity above is verified on capella.edu; the method and structure below are our tutors' approach to it, not Capella's official rubric text.
How BUS FPX 2061 Assessment 2 is scored
FlexPath does not use letter grades. Each criterion in the scoring guide lands on one of four levels, and the level descriptions are the real writing brief:
| Level | What it means on the accounting cycle questions |
|---|---|
| Distinguished | Every question is answered accurately, the steps of the cycle are explained in order with examples, journal entries balance, and work is shown. |
| Proficient | Answers are accurate, but some explanations are brief. |
| Basic | Some entries are wrong or steps are out of order. |
| Non-performance | Questions are unanswered. |
Use the template and show every journal entry in proper form.

Annotated sample excerpt
An original model excerpt from our team, written to show the register that reaches the top of the guide. Learn the moves, then write your own version.
When the business buys 2,000 dollars of supplies on credit, the source document is the supplier's invoice.1 The entry debits Supplies for 2,000 dollars, increasing an asset, and credits Accounts Payable for 2,000 dollars, increasing a liability, so the accounting equation stays in balance.2 The entry is then posted to both ledger accounts, and the balances flow into the trial balance at the end of the period, which checks that total debits equal total credits but cannot show whether an entry was posted to the wrong account.3
- 1Identifies the source document.
- 2Records the entry correctly with the effect on the equation.
- 3Follows it through posting and the trial balance, including its limit.
