profit or loss account
Answer Posted / chalapathi rao govada

is to know what is our netprofit or loss for a given period.

Eg: Profit on Sale of investments in Stock market.
Eg: loss on sale of a capital Asset.
Eg: loss on sale of any security.
And: indirect transacitons which will altemately represents
profit or losses.Like
Sales --------- Major income source.
All revenue items---- Represents the earning capacity of
your organisation
All exp ----------- Which plays vital role in profit and
loss.
