Which of the following adjustments would not affect the net profit of a sole trader?
A. Prepaid insurance
B. Outstanding salary
C. Interest on drawings
D. Increase in provision for doubtful debts
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Interest on drawings is an appropriation of profit in sole proprietorship? Actually in sole proprietorship, drawings are not subject to interest unless specifically decided for managerial accounting. But in financial accounting for sole traders, interest on drawings is not charged to P&L. It reduces capital directly if considered. So it does not affect net profit. Others affect P&L.
Explanation:
Salary to partners is allowed only if partnership deed provides. Interest on capital is not automatic. Profits sharing can be unequal. Minor cannot be a partner, only admitted to benefits.
