becoz as we use assets their value decreses due to wear and tear etc
The effects it would has on net profit and net asset is that there would be an increase in net profit and an increase in net asset as well

If that happens, there will be overstatment of the period's profit as well as overstatement of assets. This will reduce the future profit of business because the original costs of assets will be charged more to the Profit and Loss account in process of depreciation of assets.
net profit will increase
Assets increase over liabilities
Net Profit is placed in the Credit Side of the Profit & Loss A/c. of the Company and added to the Capital in the Asset Side of the Balance Sheet.
ROA = Net Profit Margin * Asset Turnover Asset Turnover = ROA/Profit Margin = 13.5/5 = 2.7%
If you look at what Return on Assets is comprised of, Net Profit Margin and the Total Asset Turnover, if the firm is having a very slow turnover, the ROA will be declining if the turnover is greater in magnitude to the NPM.
No, Net profit is always from revenues from operating activities while net gain can be from any transaction for example from sale or disposal of old fixed asset etc.
In a way profit could be considered an asset but its a stretch. Profit is term used to describe the earnings left over after you subtract the expenses related to the earning of that profit. The retained earnings would actually be the asset. The term profit is just a way to tell if your business is making money (or profitable) and doesn't really fall into the asset category. You will not see profits on a balance sheet rather you will see earnings.
A reason for the decrease in net profit margin is when an increase in business running expenses incur.
net profit devided by total assets is called return on total asset and formula is as follows: Return on total assets = Net profit / total assets.
