Answer Posted / chalapathi rao govada
The main objective of preparing the profit and loss account
is to know what is our netprofit or loss for a given period.
So based on this logic some of us will under an impression

profit transactins and loss transactions.
Eg: profit on sale of a Fixed Assets.

profit or losses.Like
