b) Midwest Heart Association's Statement of Activities is the financial statement that shows the revenues and expenses of the association, including the change in net assets during a period.  It is like the income statement of a profit-making entity that shows revenue and expenses.  While the excess in revenue over expenses is called net income for a profit-making entity, it is called change in net assets for a non-profit-making organization like Midwest Heart Association.
