In profit distribution how is interest on partner loan treated?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Expense in Profit and Loss Account

The direct answer is Option A: an expense in the Profit and Loss Account. A loan from a partner is a liability of the firm, separate from the partner’s capital. Interest on that loan is the cost of using borrowed money. Therefore it is charged as an expense before arriving at net profit. Option A is correct. Option B, appropriation of profit, is used for items such as interest on capital, partner salary and profit shares after net profit; loan interest is not such an appropriation. Option C, drawings, are withdrawals by a partner and are unrelated. Option D, reserve, is an amount set aside from profit, not an interest expense. Memory cue: interest on partner’s loan is a charge; interest on partner’s capital is normally an appropriation.
