Answer Posted / ankur

THE ITEM'S SHOWN IN THE LIABILITY SIDE IS THE LIABILITY OF
THE BUSINESS BECAUSE THESE AMOUNTS SIGNIFISE THE AMT. TO BE
PAID AND THE ITEMS SHOWN IN THE DEBIT SIDE IS THE RIGHT OF
THE PERSON FROM WHICH THEY CAN RECOVER THEIR AMOUNT.

BECAUSE OF THE ABOVE EXPLANATION IT CAN BE UNDERSTOOD THAT
PROFIT IS THE AMOUNT WHICH THE BUSINESMAN HAS NOT TAKEN OUT
AND THEREFORE IT A LIABILITY TO A BUSINESS AS LIKE CAPITAL
