If a partner takes a firm's asset instead of cash, what is the effect in his capital account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Capital account will be debited

The direct answer is option A: the partner’s capital account is debited. On dissolution, if a partner takes an asset instead of receiving cash, the partner is receiving value from the firm. The agreed value of that asset is treated as the amount settled with the partner, so the partner’s capital account is debited by that value. Option A is correct. Option B, crediting the capital account, is wrong because credit would increase the amount payable to the partner, whereas taking the asset settles or reduces that claim. Option C says the Realisation Account will not be debited; this is incorrect because the asset taken by a partner is recorded through the Realisation Account, generally by debiting the partner’s capital account and crediting Realisation. Option D, no effect, is wrong because both the asset and the partner’s settlement must be recorded. Memory cue: asset taken by partner means debit partner’s capital.
