If partner commission Rs 12000 is wrongly credited to appropriation account though it should be debited what is the effect on remaining profit?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Overstated by Rs 24000

The governing concept is the effect of a reversal error in the Profit and Loss Appropriation Account. A partner’s commission should be debited because it is an appropriation that reduces the profit available for distribution. If Rs 12,000 is wrongly credited instead, the account is increased by Rs 12,000 rather than reduced by Rs 12,000. The difference between the wrong and correct treatment is therefore Rs 12,000 + Rs 12,000 = Rs 24,000. Remaining profit is consequently overstated by Rs 24,000, making option A correct. Option B ignores the reversal of the debit, while C and D state the wrong direction or deny the effect.
