Answer / manojjain1525

there are sum generally accepted accounting principles and
in those principles there is one self entity concept it says

Answer / k. phalguna rao

Ex: A starded business with the name of ABC company with
investment of Rs. 1,00,000/-
so here A is owne of the company
what ever his investment to the ABC company is called
capital (liable to the company)
Note: Profit is return of Investment of the Owner for his
investment as a capital of Rs. 1,00,000/- in the business
so that profit belongs to the owner of the co not to the
ABC co., in the year end

hence profit will be shown in liabilities which will be
added to the capital
for next f/y capital will as follows
100000 + this year profit(Ex. 10% 10000) = 1,10,000.00
