What should be kept in mind to get the correct final answer in a profit distribution question?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: First adjust appropriations then share remaining profit in ratio

The direct answer is A: first adjust appropriations such as salary, interest, commission, and reserve; then distribute the remaining profit in the agreed profit-sharing ratio. Profit distribution is not a random division. Step 1: identify the profit available. Step 2: make the required appropriations according to the partnership agreement. Step 3: calculate the balance left. Step 4: divide that balance in the profit-sharing ratio. Option A is correct because it gives this complete sequence. Option B is wrong because profit is not always shared equally; the agreement may specify 3:2 or another ratio. Option C is wrong because capital may matter for interest on capital and related adjustments. Option D is wrong because drawings are withdrawals, not automatically an addition to profit. Remember: adjust first, share later.
