outside income or revenue they might generate.

produce revenue (or enough revenue to offset the total costs of the department) and
are classified as cost centers.
Budgeting Methods - Accurate Answers✔✔✔ The traditional method is for the
organization to estimate the next year's percentage of profit or loss and then to
simply increase (or decrease) each department's operating budget by that
percentage.
This method allows for relatively easy budget preparation and approval, but does
not allow for any true growth or recognition of services.

Each proposed budgeted account returns to a zero amount and all requested funds
must be justified every budget year.

supplies, and training costs.

lead to success. Often, failure to do either leads to a reduced budget and lack of
support from management.
