What is the effect of charging interest on drawings for a partner?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Acts as a deduction from the partner’s share of profit

Interest on drawings is charged to the partner for withdrawals and is treated as income of the firm, thereby reducing the partner’s net share of profit. In practice the partner’s current/capital account is debited and the interest is credited in the Profit & Loss Appropriation account. Option B is a tempting distractor but incorrect — interest on drawings is paid by the partner to the firm, not an extra return to the partner’s capital. Options C and D are wrong because the interest is neither a loan from the firm nor an expense of the firm; it is an appropriation/income item. Exam tip: record interest on drawings as a credit to Profit & Loss Appropriation and debit the partner’s account so it clearly reduces that partner’s distributable share.
