The financial statements effects of the appropriation are as follows:

a) Retained Earnings will reduce by $65,000 in the Income Statement and the Balance Sheet.

b) Cash balance will also reduce by $65,000 in the Balance Sheet.

Explanation:

Normally, partnerships can distribute or appropriate their profits according to their partnership agreements. However, there may be restrictive loan covenants that can specify how much profits partnerships can distribute among the partners. The purpose of such covenants is to ensure that the ability of the partnership to repay loans are not compromised through profit appropriations.

Restrictive covenants, generally, remain measures to overcome unwanted business outcomes. It is a form of insurance against loan repayments.
