Explanation:
Salary paid to a partner is an appropriation of profit and hence it will appear in the Profit and Loss Appropriation Account.
Profit and Loss Appropriation Account:
- The Profit and Loss Appropriation Account is a part of the financial statements that shows how the net profit of a business is distributed among the partners.
- It records all the appropriations of profit such as partner's salaries, interest on capital, profit shares, etc.
- The salary paid to a partner is considered as an expense for the business and reduces the overall profit available for distribution among the partners.
- Hence, the entry for 'Salary Rs. 5,000 paid to partner' will be recorded on the debit side of the Profit and Loss Appropriation Account.
Other Options:
- Notes to Accounts: This section includes additional information or explanations provided in the financial statements but not directly related to the specific account entries.
- Revaluation A/c: This account is used to record the revaluation of assets and liabilities of a business, which is not related to the salary paid to a partner.
- Trading A/c: This account is used to record the buying and selling activities of a business, which is not related to the appropriation of profit.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C) Profit and Loss Appropriation A/c as it is where the salary paid to a partner will be recorded.
