If a partner takes over a firm's liability, what is the effect in his capital account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Capital account will be credited

The relevant dissolution rule is that a liability taken over by a partner is treated as an amount payable by the firm to that partner through the partner’s capital account. The partner agrees to discharge the firm’s obligation personally, so the firm’s liability is removed from the books. The accounting entry is Realisation Account Dr. to Partner’s Capital Account; consequently, the partner’s capital account is credited. Therefore option A is correct. A debit would be appropriate for a realisation loss or drawings, not for assuming a liability. An entry is necessary because both the liability and the partner’s claim must be recorded.
