Solution
The correct option is C No. Partner's rent unless provided in the deed has to be treated as a charge against profit and so it is transferred to profit and loss a/c. Rent paid by a firm is such an expenditure which is incurred irrespective of any partner the rent paid is debited to P/L account instead of Appropriation account.'
