Solution
Salary due to a partner of the firm.
Explanation:
A salary to a partner is an appropriation of profit, not a business expense. It is allowed only when there is profit and is recorded in the Profit and Loss Appropriation Account.
In contrast, all others are charges against profit, i.e., treated as business expenses whether or not profit is earned.
