Under the fluctuating capital method, a partner's salary has been omitted by mistake. If the salary amount is Rs 12,000, what is the effect on the closing capital?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Understated by Rs 12,000

Partner salary is an appropriation (a payable) that reduces the profit available for capital. Omitting the salary from the books means the closing capital is understated by the exact unpaid salary amount, i.e. Rs 12,000. Option B is incorrect because omission does not overstate capital; it understates it. Option C would only be correct if the salary had been omitted twice (not stated). Option D is wrong because omission of a payable appropriation does affect closing capital. Exam tip: under fluctuating capital method, any unpaid appropriations (salary, interest on capital, drawings adjustments) directly change closing capital — omission understates the capital by that amount.
