Answer / sushil mohan
Actually Profit & Loss A/c is the part of Final A/c and
in Profit & Loss A/c we record incomes and gains from all
the sources as well as expenses and losses occured both,
thats why it is termed as Profit & Loss A/c not Profit or
Loss A/c.
we find either Profit or Loss from the Profit & Loss
A/c, yet we term it 'Profit & Loss A/c' because without
comparison of incomes and expenses we can not find the
actual or net profit or loss result.
If we term it as Profit or Loss A/c, we will be
restricted to record only profit or loss that will not lead
to the end result.

Answer / chalapathi rao govada
Becasue we are consideing various profit transactins and
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.

Answer / kruti
In Profit & Loss a/c we are recording both profit
transaction & loss transaction. profit on sell of goods or
services or assets and loss on on giving various charges,
expenses or sale of machinery.
so here we are recording both transaction instead of
recording single one. that's y we are called this account
profit & loss a/c instead of profit or loss a/c.
