Answer:
Here's how we deal with interest on drawings.
Explanation:
- Interest on drawings is considered as an income to the firm due to the business entity concept which states that the proprietor and the business are separate legal entities.
- There is no cash entering the business as the business already owes the proprietor some amount of money which in accounting terms is the 'CAPITAL'
- As the proprietor owes the business interest the amount owed by the business to the proprietor decreases.
- Capital which is a liability decreases - so it should be debited
- Interest on drawings which is an income increases - so it should be credited
- The journal entry that needs to be passed is
Capital A/c Dr 1,500
To interest on drawings A/c 1,500
- In accounting equation- it is a addition as well as a deduction from capital as an income is an addition to capital
- The net effect of this transaction is NIL
- If given as an adjustment in final accounts, it should be credited to the P&L A/c as it is an indirect income and be deducted from capital in the balance sheet.
