No, I do not agree with the statement. 

  • Contractual income is that income that is paid as per the terms and conditions of payment. 
  • Profit is not a contractual income. 
  • It is residual income because profit is the earning of an entrepreneur. 
  • It is the income that is left over after making payments to all factors of production. 
  • Profit may not be always positive.
  • It can be zero or even negative. 
  • Thus, it is a fluctuating income.
