Interest on partner loan Rs 9000 was not deducted from net profit by mistake. What is the correct adjustment?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Deduct Rs 9000 from net profit

Interest on a loan given by a partner is a charge against the firm’s profit. Unlike interest on capital, it is normally treated as an expense before arriving at net profit, because the firm has borrowed and must pay for the use of that loan. It is not a distribution of the residual profit among partners.

If ₹9,000 interest was accidentally left out, the reported net profit is overstated by ₹9,000. The correction is to reduce the net profit by ₹9,000, or record the omitted expense in the appropriate accounts. Adding it would increase the existing error. It should not be credited to the appropriation account or added to drawings. Therefore, option A correctly states the required adjustment.
