Answer / gopal reddy. illuri

Profit and loss a/c is prepared by the trading, profit oriented firms to know the profit earned or loss incurred by the business during the regular periodic interwals. It reveals the net margin on sales made by the concern after meeting all expenses which are required to make the goods available to the consumers(after providing all indirect expenses).It is caliculated by deducting all the indirect expenses from the gross profit such as selling and distribution, management, depreciation and maintanance, financial expenses, and extraordinary items. the difference is called Net profit.

If the income exceeds the expenditure it is called as surplus. If expenditure Exceeds income it canbe termed as deficit.
