ANSWERS:
1. Discussion
a) The most fundamental difference between a non profit and a for profit business is
the reason they exist. For profit companies are generally founded to generate
income for entrepreneurs and their employees, while non profit are generally
founded to serve a humanitarian or environmental need.
There are several differences between for profit and non profit business. While the
aim of for profit business is to maximize profits and forward these profits to the
companys owners and shareholders, non profit business aim to provide societys
need. Non profit business have no owners. Instead maximizing profits,which means
maximizing revenues while minimizing costs, they are more concerned with ensuring
the revenue is greater than costs. This ensures that the non profit can still provide
societys needs.
Tax Exemption
For profit business must pay taxes on their net income, but this is not true for non
profits if they are exempt from taxes. If a non profits goal is to increase the welfare
of society, governments tend to help this cause by minimizing the non profits costs
as much as possible.
Financial prediction
Organizations and companies often end annual reports by reminding the reader
Of the good things they plan to present to the public or cutomers in the upcoming
fiscal year. For profit business will share information, such as new product launches
and services, that all have the goal of generating more profit for the business. Non
profit business will end the report by sharing what services or programs have been
the most successful and how they plan on developing these to serve more people on
a large scale.
The examples of non profit business or organizations:
Museum, library, association, charity, hospital/clinic, school, red cross, research,
nature concervancy, support for chronic illness and diseases, animal rights, LSM, etc
