Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the accounting treatment of interest on capital in a sole proprietorship. While typically an appropriation of profit, it's recorded in the profit and loss account for sole traders as it's considered a business expense. A separate profit and loss appropriation account isn't needed as there are no partners to share profits.
