A-I, B-III, C-IV, D-II

Correct Answer:

A-I, B-III, C-IV, D-II

Explanation:

* Appropriation are more than available profit- In this case, whole amount of appropriation cannot be given to partner as profit is less. So, the appropriation ratio is calculated and available profit is distributed in this ratio.

* Appropriation is less than available profit - In this case, whole amount of appropriation can be given to partner as profit is more than appropriation. So, after providing the appropriation, remaining profit is distributed in profit-sharing ratio.

* Rectify errors after preparation of the final account- If any error is caused while making final account and it is found out after its preparation then a separate account named profit and loss adjustment account is made to rectify these errors.

* A statement tells about the financial position of a firm- Balance sheet is a statement that shows the financial position of the partnership firm at the end of the year at a particular time.
