Statement of Profit and Loss or
Income Statement
 Statement of Profit and Loss

- Also called as Income Statement is prepared for

a period of time
- What is the period of time ???
Consists of :
- Revenues ( Sales) and Expenses
 Revenues (Sales) result from operating the business
say from sale of goods, performance of services, the
rental of property, or lending of money.
 Revenues results in increase in assets.
 Revenue other than main operation is shown as other
income
 EXPENSES

 Expenses results from operating the

business.
 They are the cost of resources consumed
or services used in the process of earning
revenue.
 Expenses include rent expense, electricity,
raw material consumed, salary, etc
Profit and Loss Account
 When Sales exceed expenses
 PROFIT results (also termed as Net Income)

 When expenses exceed sales,

 NET LOSS RESULTS

The net profit or loss ultimately ‘belongs’ to the

“owners” and is shown as Retained Earning
or Reserves and Surplus (after distribution of
dividends if any)
Problem of Time Cycle
Accounting Period Concept
 This period defines the time range over
which business transactions are accumulated
into financial statements
 Net income for life of company:
 = Income – Expenses
 Accounting year = Fiscal year /Calendar year
or any other period as determined by the
company
 Thus the period can be for 1 year, 1 quarter,
1 month or even 1 day
Problem of time cycle
 Revenues and Expenses do not synchronize
with the accounting period.

 PL Related concepts follows

 Class Exercise

 Rajesh started “A One” Coffee, with a capital of Rs.

5000 and borrowings of Rs.2000. Early morning he
purchased all necessary materials for Rs.1000 by paying
cash. Additionally, extra sugar for Rs. 200 was
purchased. A coffee-making machine was taken on a
rent of Rs. 1000 per day. He paid Rs.500, and promised
to pay the balance rent the next day.
 100 glasses of A1-Coffee was brewed, and the neatly
packed into insulated glasses to keep it hot.
Strategically they were priced at Rs 40 each. By 11.30
a.m., Sold all the coffees. 10 people who already
consumed the coffee, did not have enough cash and
promised to pay the next day. A group of 40 people
paid Rs. 40 each in advance and reserved the coffee for
the next day. !! At the end of the day the all materials
were consumed only extra sugar also remained unused.

 What is the profit made by Rajesh at the end of the day.

The realization Concept

Revenue is recognized as and when

earned or the earning process is
complete
Accounting Concept

Nov Dec. Jan Feb Mar.

XYX signed a contract on November 15,

2016 to provide Repair services for 3
months beginning December 1 for Rs.3000
per month payable in one installment Mar
1, 2017. How much is the Revenue for the
y.e. 31.12.16?
The Accounting concept

Nov

One option might be to record the revenue in the month

the contract is signed.
The Accounting Concept

Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar

Another option might be to record the revenue when

cash is received in March.
The Accounting Concept

Nov Dec Jan Feb

A third option might be to record the revenue when

services are provided, from December through
February, at the rate of Rs.3,000 per month.
The Realization Concept

Nov. Dec. Jan Feb Mar

The company should record the revenue when services

are provided, from December through February, at the
rate of Rs.3,000 per month. Since payment is not
received until March, a receivable must be established as
at December 31, 2016.
 Realisation Concept

The Profit or loss for a period must reflect the

actual revenues irrespective of the fact whether
they have been received or not.

We therefore establish a “Receivable” on that

date if cash is not received
 The Accrual Concept

•Payment of Cash is not the basis of recording

Expenses.

The Profit or loss for a period must reflect the

actual expenses irrespective of the fact whether
they have been paid or not.

We therefore establish a “Payable ” on that date

if cash is not paid
 Matching Concept

Match Expenses with Revenues

earned
The Matching Concept
 Matching compares “Cause and Effect” or the
accomplishment with effort
- Step involved:
- Determine the revenues (Sale of Goods/services)
- Match the expenses (traced to products/services)
incurred to generate the revenue
- Matching concept results in Inventory when items
are not sold
- Other Expenses not related to the product are
“Period Expenses” and are expensed in the
accounting period itself
