Interest on drawings was seven thousand rupees but was not added in appropriation account. What is the effect on profit distribution?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Distributable profit will be understated by seven thousand rupees

Interest on drawings is charged to partners because they have used firm funds for personal purposes. For the firm, this interest is income, so it is credited in the profit and loss appropriation account. Adding it increases the amount of profit available for distribution among partners. If the amount is omitted, the recorded distributable profit becomes smaller than the amount that should have been available.

Here the omitted interest is ₹7,000. Therefore, the distributable profit is understated by ₹7,000. It is not an increase in salary and it is not a zero effect, because a real credit item has been left out. The statement that profit is overstated would reverse the direction of the error: omission of income causes an understatement, not an overstatement.
