Academic: Students will have limited prior knowledge on household accounts, although they should have some prior knowledge from previous chapters where the students learned how important it is to budget. Home/ life experiences: Students may have some prior knowledge of household accounts from their parents as they may have witnessed their parents adding up their expenditure and income of the month. If the students parents are accountants or own their own business, the role of continuously checking accounts and recording income and

expenditure may be more prominent; therefore the student will hold a vague understanding of the importance and role of household accounts.
