If a partner’s salary is omitted by mistake, what will be the effect on distributable profit?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Distributable profit will appear higher

Partner salary is an appropriation of profit allowed under the partnership agreement. It is deducted from the profit available for distribution and credited to the concerned partner’s account. If the salary is accidentally omitted, the appropriation is not recorded as a deduction. As a result, the profit remaining for distribution is overstated by the amount of the omitted salary. This does not mean that the firm has earned more; it means that a claim belonging to the partner has been left out of the distribution calculation. Option B gives the opposite effect, option C ignores the missing appropriation, and option D confuses salary with drawings, which are withdrawals rather than an allowance. Therefore, the distributable profit will appear higher, making option A correct.
