Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: B
The excess of income over expenditure represents profit (in a business) or surplus (in a non-profit organization). This surplus increases the owner's equity or the organization's net assets. * **Accumulated fund:** This is the account where the surplus is transferred to increase the net assets of a non-profit organization. * **Profit and loss account:** This is the account used to calculate profit or loss; the balance is then transferred elsewhere. * **Current assets/liabilities in the balance sheet:** These represent short-term assets and obligations, not the long-term result of operations.
