Why profit is a liability and loss is an assets

Answer Posted / manisha

Profit is an liability because at the end of the year we
are adding it into capital of the company which shown in
teh liability side of balance sheet while at the time of
dissolution of comapny we need to paid back the capital to
the member of the comapny so profit is an liability and
loss is an assets because asstes is deducting from the
capital as capital is shown in the liability side if u are
deducting anything from the liability side it means u are
giving the effect of assets side as per the pricepal of
accounts.
so profit is an liabilty b'coz we need to paid back it to
the members
