Which of the following will not appear in Profit and Loss Account of a business?

A. Drawings
B. Bad debts
C. Accrued expenses
D. Reserve for discount on Sundry Creditors

Profit and Loss Account is an income statement which depicts all incomes/gains and
expenses/losses during an accounting period. Drawings are neither an income nor an expense to be recorded in Profit and Loss Account. Thus A. is the correct answer. The items in other alternatives are either expenses or accrued expenses or probable income of discount on sundry creditors. The depreciation, bad debts and provision for doubtful debts and accrued expenses appear in the Profit and Loss Account and provision for income i.e., provision for discount on sundry creditors. Hence A. is the correct answer.
