Why is a partner’s loan paid before returning the partner’s capital when a firm is dissolved?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because a loan is a liability of the firm, whereas capital is the partner’s ownership claim

On dissolution, the usual order of settlement is outside liabilities, partners’ loans, and then partners’ capital. A loan advanced by a partner is a liability of the firm, whereas capital represents the partner’s ownership claim; therefore, the loan is repaid before capital. It is not a profit, reserve, or dissolution expense. Exam tip: remember that a partner’s loan is distinct from capital and is settled before capital repayment.
