In the income statement we may get profit or loss but the name of the statement was Profit and Loss account Why it was so?

Answer Posted / mudunuri

Even though main business activity brings loss to the concern and because of other income it will result in profits. Hence Profit and loss account is a mixed statement with loss from main activity and profit from other activity
