21. EXAMPLE 2: ( Appropriations are more than available profit)
P and Q are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 3:2.P is a non- working
partner . He contributed Rs.5,00,000 as his capital. Q did not contribute any
capital. The partnership deed provides interest on capital @10% p.a. and
salary to Q as ₨. 2,500 p.m. The net profit before providing interest on
capital and salary amounts to ₨. 40,000
for the year ended 31st MARCH, 2009.

PROFIT AND LOSS APPROPRIATION ACCOUNT
Dr. for the year ending 31st MARCH, 2009 Cr.
22. NOTES FOR THE ABOVE SOLUTION.
Interest on P’s capital is Rs.5,00,000x10/100 =
50,000
Q’s salary (Rs.2,500x12) =
30,000
Total appropriation of profit
80,000
But available net profit is Rs.40,000 which is less then the amount of
appropriation for the year i.e. , Rs. 80,000 so it should be divided
between P and Q in the ratio of their appropriation of profit i.e. ,
Rs.50,000 : 30,000 (5:3) and not in profit sharing ratio of 3:2.
This is so as profits after complete appropriation shall only be
distributed in their profit sharing ratio (3:2) and not before as it is not
distributable profit.
Thus, Interest on P’s capital = 40,000 x 5/8 = Rs.25,000
Q’ s salary = 40,000 x 3/8 = Rs.15,000
