Interest on Capital is to be allowed @ 5%p.a. as a charge. Manager's Commission ₹20,000 was not yet allowed. Loss for the year before allowing and charging interest on loans was ₹50,000.

Which of the following option is correct regarding 'interest on Loan' by Aman?

Options:

will be allowed @6% p.a. and debited to General Reserve because the firm has incurred loss during the year.

will be allowed @6% p.a. and debited to Profit and Loss account, which will Increase the amount of Loss.

will not be allowed because the firm has incurred loss during the year.

Correct Answer:

will be allowed @6% p.a. and debited to Profit and Loss account, which will Increase the amount of Loss.

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 3- will be allowed @6% p.a. and debited to Profit and Loss account, which will Increase the amount of Loss.

Loan by Aman = ₹1,00,000
As there is no agreement so interest will be provided @6% p.a. and it is a charge against profit so debited to profit and loss account. On debiting the interest in profit and loss account, loss of the firm will increase.
