* Rent paid to a partner is an expense for the firm that is why it is charged to the profit & loss account.

* Salary to a partner is an appropriation of partner that is why it is debited to the profit and loss appropriation account. It is provided only if the appropriation is less than the available profit.

* Interest on partner's loan is provided @ 6%p.a. in absence of any agreement.
