Triple$-$F Health Club $($Family$,$ Fitness, and Fun$)$ is a not$-$for$-$profit, family$-$oriented health club. The club$$s board of directors is developing plans to acquire more equipment and expand club facilities. The board plans to purchase about $$25,000$ of new equipment each year and wants to establish a fund to purchase the adjoining property in four or five years. The adjoining property has a market value of about $$300,000.$

The club manager, Jane Crowe, is concerned that the board has unrealistic goals in light of the club$$s recent financial performance. She has sought the help of a club member with an accounting background to assist her in preparing a report to the board supporting her concerns.

The member reviewed the club$$s records, including this cash$-$basis income statement:
