A Level Accounting (9706)•9706/11/O/N/24

Explanation
Partnership current account balance calculation Steps:
- Start with opening credit balance of $20,000.
- Add P's salary of $20,000 as appropriation.
- Calculate residual profit: total profit 50,000 = -$20,000 loss.
- Add P's share of residual loss: 50% of -10,000 (net appropriation 10,000 = $10,000).
- Subtract drawings of 10,000 if applicable to current account. Not enough information: Ambiguous whether 30,000 or $20,000, not matching options. Why B is correct:
- Matches if assuming profit after salaries, no revaluation to current, and adjusted share, but violates standard definitions. Why the others are wrong:
- A: Assumes net appropriation $10,000 without revaluation adjustment.
- C: Possible if partial revaluation credit and minor interest, but no basis.
- D: Assumes full loss share without salary credit.
Final answer: Not enough information.
