Verified step by step guidance

Understand the concept of interest-earning accounts: These accounts accumulate interest over time, which is a percentage of the account balance paid by the financial institution to the account holder.

Identify the primary benefit of interest-earning accounts: The key advantage is that the account balance grows over time without requiring additional deposits, due to the compounding effect of interest.

Evaluate the incorrect options: Analyze why the other choices are not correct. For example, interest-earning accounts do not eliminate the need for financial statements, are not restricted to business transactions, and are not exempt from taxes.

Relate the correct answer to financial principles: The growth of the account balance aligns with the principle of passive income, where money works for the account holder without active involvement.

Conclude the reasoning process: The correct answer is based on the fundamental benefit of interest accumulation, which enhances the account balance over time.
