*Interest on loan ` 30,000 (i.e., ` 5,00,000 × 6/100) is a charge against profit. It is an
expense for the firm and hence, is debited to Profit and Loss Account. On the other
hand, it is a gain for partner as a lender and hence is credited to his Loan Account and
not to his Capital Account. Being a charge against profits, it should be transferred
to the debit of Profit and Loss Account and not to the debit of Profit and
Loss Appropriation Account.
