If interest on a partner's loan has been wrongly debited to the Profit and Loss Appropriation Account, what is the correct accounting treatment?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It should be debited as an expense in the Profit and Loss Account

Interest on a partner's loan is a revenue expense of the firm and must be debited to the Profit and Loss Account (i.e., before appropriation). The Profit and Loss Appropriation Account is used only for appropriation of net profit among partners, so charging a firm expense there is an error of principle. Option C is a tempting distractor but incorrect because interest on drawings relates to partners' withdrawals, not interest payable on funds lent to the firm. Exam tip: classify items as either "profit determination (P&L)" or "profit appropriation (P&L Appropriation)" before posting.
