If a partner takes over outstanding expenses of ₹6,000, what will be recorded in his capital account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Credit ₹6,000

The governing concept is the treatment of a liability taken over by a partner at dissolution. When the partner accepts responsibility for outstanding expenses of ₹6,000, the firm is relieved from paying that liability. The partner effectively gives consideration equal to ₹6,000 for the liability, so his capital account is credited by ₹6,000. Thus option A is correct. A debit would reduce the partner's claim and would be appropriate for assets taken over, not for a liability assumed by him. ₹12,000 has no basis because only ₹6,000 is involved, and option D is wrong because the assumption changes the partner's settlement and must be recorded. The liability itself is removed through the dissolution entries.
