From the budgeted income statement, Greatland learns that it has projected operating income for the year. Since
Greatland is a not-for-profit preschool, it is not in business to generate income for its owners. Rather, Greatland may
be able to further its organizational goals with the projected income. For example, it may decide to use the income for
any of the following purposes:
• Invest in additional (or better) classroom equipment
• Invest in additional (or better) playground equipment
• Improve the current program (more crafts, books, better curriculum, special guest visitors, special programs,
field trips, etc.)
