profit or loss account

Answer Posted / chalapathi rao govada

loss transactions during a specified period.

Eg: profit on sale of assets
Loss on sale of Assets.

Eventhough our objective of preparing p&L is to determine
what is the profit or loss for the given period.Based on
the above logic we are calling it as profit and loss
account.
