Why do we call it as Profit and loss A/c ?Because it shows either profit or loss only. Can't we call it as Profit or loss Account?

Profit and Loss A/c gives us a net effect of all the profits earned and losses incurred in a year. The word "and " denotes the fact that it consists of series of profits as well as losses before we arrive at a net profit or net loss. Therefore, it is incorrect to call it Profir or loss a/c since its is composition of both the elements.

Thank Q sir
But it also shows incomes and expenses.
Then why should we not call it as income and expenses account.
In fact every profit can be call as part of income(as excess income over exp) but not every income as profit.
