Query regarding expenses in business

expenses are not losses in business bcs they are incurred in order to generate revenue. is it also a fact that these expenses are actually recoverable through sales and other activities.if we are not generating enough sales and incurring loss we are now treating the expenses we incurred that are not recovered as losses.   am I right?

Quick Summary
In business, expenses are costs incurred to generate revenue and are generally recoverable through sales. If revenue falls short of these expenses, the unrecovered portion is then treated as a loss. This concept is rooted in the matching principle, which dictates that expenses should be recorded in the same period as the revenue they help generate.

Yes, correct.
Partially correct.

then what is the absolute right

He/she don't have reply only reply randomly anything on any query

The concept applied here is of matching principle. For the revenue generated corresponding expenses and purchases which have been incurred to generate such revenue have to be recorded. Where sale exceeds its matching expenses and purchases it is gain. Where sales are less with its matching expenses and purchases then it is loss.
