Partner salary of Rs 18,000 was wrongly credited to the Appropriation Account although it should have been debited. By how much will the remaining profit be overstated?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Rs 36,000 more

The governing concept is the effect of reversing the correct debit and the incorrect credit. Partner salary is an appropriation of profit and, in the relevant adjustment, it should reduce the profit available for distribution by Rs 18,000. Instead, crediting it increases the reported remaining profit by Rs 18,000. Thus the difference between the correct and erroneous treatments is Rs 18,000 + Rs 18,000 = Rs 36,000. Therefore, the remaining profit is overstated by Rs 36,000, making option A correct. Option B considers only the erroneous credit and ignores the missing debit. Option C gives the wrong direction, while option D ignores the accounting effect.
