Here's a couple of reasons/examples why profit is subjective:



1) Inventory valuation methods (LIFO,

FIFO

, average cost, etc.)


Change the inventory valuation method, and the reported profit will change also.



2)

Depreciation methods

(straight line, double-declining balance, etc.)


Again, if the

depreciation method

is changed, reported profit changes too.
