Dear Student

Loss Due to Earthquake:  Means abnormal loss caused to business due to the earthquake. It is an extraordinary item. This Loss is debited to profit and loss account for arriving at the net profit, therefore in order to find net profit before tax and Extraordinary items, it shall be added back to Net profit after extraordinary item and tax.

Insurance Proceeds: It means the amount recovered from Insurance company on account of Loss. It is also a extraordinary item and it is credited in Profit and loss account to arrive at the net profit after Extraordinary items.So in order to find net profit before Tax and Extraordinary item, it shall be Deducted from net profit after tax and Extraordinary items.
