It is a charge against profit and is debited to the standard Profit & Loss Account (must be paid even in case of losses).Interest on Capital (B), Partner Salary (C), Partner Commission (D): These represent payments made to partners in their ownership capacities out of net distributable funds. These are traditional appropriations of profit recorded inside the Profit & Loss Appropriation Account and are payable only if profits exist.
