In an appropriation account, interest on capital is ₹30,000 and interest on drawings is ₹5,000. There are no other appropriations. What is the net effect on profit before distribution to partners?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Profit decreases by ₹25,000

Interest on capital is an appropriation that reduces the amount of profit available for distribution. Interest on drawings has the opposite effect: it is credited to the firm and increases the available profit. Thus, the two effects must be offset rather than added. The reduction caused by interest on capital is ₹30,000, while the increase caused by interest on drawings is ₹5,000. Net decrease = ₹30,000 − ₹5,000 = ₹25,000. Therefore, option B is correct. Option A adds both amounts and ignores the opposite effect of drawings interest. Option C reverses the overall direction, and option D ignores the ₹5,000 increase arising from interest on drawings.
