Average sales per month from 01.07.2018 to 31.03.2019 will be 2x
Total sales from 01.07.2018 to 31.03.2019 will be 2x X 9 =18x

Hence, pre incorporation salary (01.04.2018 to 30.06.2018) = 3x
Post incorporation salary from 01.07.2018 to 31.03.2019 = (3x + 12x) i.e.15x

FAQs on Profit or Loss Pre & Post Incorporation Important Question & Answer - Accounting for CA Intermediate (Old Scheme)
| 1. What is the difference between profit and loss in the context of pre and post incorporation? |  |
Ans. In the context of pre-incorporation, profit refers to the income earned before a company is officially formed and registered. It includes revenue generated from business activities or investments made during this period. On the other hand, loss in pre-incorporation refers to the expenses incurred or the reduction in the value of assets during this period.
In the context of post-incorporation, profit refers to the excess of revenue over expenses during the operation of the company. It represents the financial gain or positive outcome of the company's business activities. Loss in post-incorporation refers to the excess of expenses over revenue, indicating a negative financial outcome.
| 2. How is profit or loss calculated in pre-incorporation? | |
Ans. In pre-incorporation, profit is calculated by subtracting the total expenses from the total revenue generated during this period. Revenue can come from various sources such as sales, investments, or other business activities. Expenses include costs incurred in the process of setting up the company, such as legal fees, registration charges, and initial marketing expenses.
Loss in pre-incorporation is calculated by subtracting the total revenue generated from the total expenses incurred during this period. If the expenses exceed the revenue, it indicates a loss.
| 3. How is profit or loss calculated in post-incorporation? | |
Ans. In post-incorporation, profit is calculated by subtracting the total expenses from the total revenue generated during the company's operation. Revenue can come from various sources such as sales, services, or investments. Expenses include costs incurred in the regular operation of the business, such as salaries, rent, utilities, and raw material costs.
Loss in post-incorporation is calculated by subtracting the total revenue generated from the total expenses incurred during the company's operation. If the expenses exceed the revenue, it indicates a loss.
| 4. How are profits or losses treated in the financial statements of a company? | |
Ans. Profits are reflected as income in the financial statements of a company. They are recorded on the income statement, which shows the revenue, expenses, and resulting profit or loss for a specific period. Profits are also transferred to the retained earnings section of the balance sheet, increasing the company's overall net worth.
Losses, on the other hand, are recorded as an expense in the income statement. They reduce the company's overall profit or result in a net loss. Losses are also reflected in the retained earnings section of the balance sheet, reducing the company's net worth.
| 5. How do pre and post-incorporation profit or loss impact the taxation of a company? | |
Ans. Pre-incorporation profit or loss is not subject to taxation as the company is not officially formed or registered during this period. However, any expenses incurred during this period may be carried forward and deducted from future profits post-incorporation.
Post-incorporation profit is subject to taxation based on the applicable tax laws and regulations of the country. The company is required to calculate its taxable income by subtracting allowable expenses from the total revenue. The resulting profit is then subject to the applicable tax rates. Losses can be carried forward to offset future profits and reduce the tax liability.
