For fiscal year 2015 and 2016 your clinic received $3 million from the government as fee-for-services reimbursements, as well as $1.1 million from private payers. The clinic has an annual fund-raiser that historically brings in $180,000 and a grants department that brings in $1.2 million annually.

Your chief financial officer has provided you with the following annual expenses:

Annual supplies	$60,000

Using the ABC Health Care Operating Budget template, complete a 12-month operating budget in which you include the net profit (loss).
