Interest on drawings of Rs 11,000 was wrongly debited to the appropriation account. It should have been credited. By how much will distributable profit be understated?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Rs 22,000

Interest on drawings is income for the firm and is therefore credited to the Profit and Loss Appropriation Account. A correct credit of Rs 11,000 would increase distributable profit by Rs 11,000. Instead, the account was debited by Rs 11,000, which decreases profit by Rs 11,000. The total error compared with the correct treatment is therefore Rs 11,000 + Rs 11,000 = Rs 22,000. Consequently, distributable profit is understated by Rs 22,000. The figure Rs 11,000 captures only one side of the error and ignores the missed credit; Rs 33,000 overstates the difference; and no effect is incorrect because both the account balance and profit distribution are affected. Hence option A is correct.
