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.

Incomes and expenses must be reported in the income statement. The profits are apportioned through profit sharing ratio. It is a business expense.

Can we prepare profit and loss appropriation in sole proprietorship firm??

No need. There are no partners and no need to distribute profits.
