From which account is interest on capital transferred to capital or current account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Profit and Loss Appropriation Account

Direct answer: Option A, Profit and Loss Appropriation Account. Interest on capital is not an ordinary business expense; it is an appropriation, or distribution, of profit among partners. First, net profit is transferred to the Profit and Loss Appropriation Account. Then interest on capital is allowed to the partners and transferred from that account to each partner’s capital account under fluctuating capital or current account under fixed capital. Thus the source account is the Profit and Loss Appropriation Account. Option A is correct. Option B, Cash account, is wrong because the entry is an accounting transfer, not necessarily an immediate cash payment. Option C, Sales account, records sales and cannot distribute partnership profit. Option D, Stock account, records goods or inventory and is unrelated to partners’ capital interest. A useful chain is: profit appropriation account → partner’s capital/current account. Do not confuse interest on capital with interest paid to an outside lender.
