Question : Assertion (A): A partner's salary is deducted from the profit and loss account.
Reason (R): A partner's salary is a appropriation of profit.
Option 1: Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A)
Option 2: Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A)
Option 3: Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is False
Option 4: Assertion (A) is false but Reason (R) is true
Correct Answer: Assertion (A) is false but Reason (R) is true
Solution : The salary paid to the partner is an appropriation that is recorded on the credit side of the appropriation account rather than the debit side of the profit and loss account.
Hence the correct answer is option 4.
