A,B, and C are partners in a firm. C died in a car accident on 31st march, 2019. The accountant gave a credit to C for his share in profit. Was the accountant correct in doing so ??

Dear student
yess, accountant is right in doing so. died partner share of profit earned from the beginning of the year to the date of death is transferred to died's partners capital  account. and his share of profit is tranferred to his capital account by profit and loss suspense account.

Also the credit was given through profit and loss suspense account. Was the accountant correct in doing so??

yes, he was correct in doing so because a died partner should be given a share in the profits of an organisation through P&L suspense a/C.
Journal entry will be:
P&L SUSPENSE A/C dr. XXX
