If interest on capital is wrongly credited to the Profit and Loss Appropriation Account, what is the effect on available profit?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Profit will appear higher

The governing concept is that interest on capital is normally debited to the Profit and Loss Appropriation Account and credited to the partner’s capital or current account. The debit reduces the profit available for further distribution. If it is wrongly credited to the appropriation account instead, the account receives an additional credit rather than the required debit. This makes the available profit appear higher than it should. Compared with correct treatment, the total difference would be twice the interest amount, because a debit was replaced by a credit; however, the direction asked in the question is simply an increase in shown available profit. Therefore option B is correct. The error does not alter the capital ratio, and it is not a no-effect error.
