Profit and loss can be an easy topic in mathematics where you buy something and sell it to gain or lose money. In accounting, however, calculating profit and loss can be a bit more technical.

You need to know what falls under income and expenses in the ALICE accounts before you do the simple mathematics. Accounting questions on profit and loss can take up to 10 to 15 minutes so cannot waste any time trying to figure out where to place accounts.
