On dissolution of a partnership firm, what does a debit balance in a partner's capital account indicate?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: An amount is recoverable from the partner

The governing concept is the interpretation of a debit balance in a partner's capital account at final settlement. A debit balance means that the credits available to the partner are insufficient to cover the debits, such as losses, drawings, or other charges. Consequently, the partner owes the resulting amount to the firm, and it is recovered during dissolution. Hence option A is correct. A credit balance would indicate an amount payable by the firm to the partner, so option B reverses the rule. Cash received by the firm is recorded in cash and relevant realisation entries; it does not define a debit capital balance. Likewise, profit generally creates a credit, not a debit, in the partner's capital account.
