A and B share profits in the ratio 3:2. A withdrew ₹6000 with interest ₹600. B withdrew ₹9000 with interest ₹900. What total credit will appear in the appropriation account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹1500

The direct answer is A, ₹1500. Interest on drawings is charged to the partners because drawings reduce the funds available to the firm. At the same time, this interest is income for the firm, so it is credited in the Profit and Loss Appropriation Account. A's drawing interest is ₹600 and B's is ₹900. Add them: ₹600+₹900=₹1500. Thus the total credit in the appropriation account is ₹1500. Option A is correct. Option B, ₹900, includes only B's interest and omits A's. Option C, ₹600, includes only A's interest and omits B's. Option D, nil, is wrong because the firm receives the benefit of interest on drawings. The 3:2 profit-sharing ratio is not needed for this total; it would matter for distributing profit or certain appropriations, not for adding the two interest amounts. The corresponding individual partners' capital or current accounts are debited, while the firm's appropriation account is credited. Memory cue: interest on drawings is expense for partners but income for the firm.
