Profit & Loss A/c.	Profit & Loss Appropriation A/c
i) Profit and Loss A/c is prepared to ascertain net profit or net loss of the business for an accounting year.	i) In case of partnership firms, profit and loss appropriate/ distribute the profit of the year among partners.
ii) It is prepared by all the business firms.	ii) Only partnership firms and companies prepare profit and loss appropriation A/c.

On debit side: Drawing, interest on drawing, share of loss, closing credit balance of the capital.
On credit side: Opening credit balance of capital, additional capital introduced, share of profit, interest on capital, salary to a Partner, commission to a Partner.

From an accounting viewpoint, partnership is a separate business entity. From a legal viwepoints, however, a Partnership, like a sole proprietorship, is not separate from the owners.

Value of goodwill = Rs.18,00,000 in both cases

Goodwill = Rs.2,000

Goodwill = Rs.15,00,000

Commission payable to the partners = \(20 \over 120\)x 1,80,000 = Rs.30,000 which will be shared as:
P = Rs.6,000, Q = Rs.9,000, R = Rs.6,000 and S = Rs.15,000

Interest on drawings = Rs.1,10,000

Divisible Profit Rs. 34,750 transferred to Pappu's Currrent A/c 20,850 and Munna's Current A/c Rs. 13,900.
