Answer / erphan jani khan
When an organization gets profit on sale of assets or any
scrap it is recorded on the credit side and at the same time
time when there is a loss on sale of assets or sale of
scrap, it will be recorded on DEBIT side of P&L a/c. As both
profits & losses are recorded in this account, it is called
as P&L a/c and not P{or}L a/c.
