Answer / monty
hi feriend
profit should be shown in liability side why because-
whenever the company makes profit in a particular year, 1st
it have to distribute that profit among the share holders
(eqity+preference) and also it should be distributed to the
debenture holders in the form of Interest. according to
business antity concept of accointing.

Answer / keyul gandhi
Dear Mr. Venu
Profit of the company is a liabilility because this profit
need to be distributed to the partnes or share holders or
to the porpritor, which is not yet done
when we prepare final accounts we just arrive at the proft
figure and not the actual distribution of the profit.
Thanks

Answer / sooraj
hai eveery one....
my answer is as follows.
net profit treated as a liability.the owner contribute
capital to the organisation,so it's the duty of the company
to return something for their capital,because the owner
carries lot of risk for their funds........so the company
give a part of profit to the owners for facing that risk......

Answer / samir manchekar
business & owner are different things as per seperate entity concept.
when owner brings capital to the business then it is liability for the business so it is shown in the balance sheet at the liability side busines has to give something return for their for their capital and the net profit is profit for the owner but it is liability for the company thats y its added to the capital

Answer / sumayya
because profit is earned on the capital invested which is not the company's money.
capital is also like a liability and the profit should actually be given to the owner and the money is still there with the company so it is again a liab. for the company to pay the profit which is a return on the capital invested by the owner.
