Why is loan payable to a partner kept separate from capital account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because it is a separate liability

A partner’s loan is money lent by the partner to the firm, whereas capital is the partner’s investment in the business. These are different in nature and have different settlement rules. A loan is an outside liability of the firm in relation to the partner and is normally paid separately from capital during dissolution.

Because it represents a separate obligation, the partner’s loan is shown separately from the partner’s capital account. It is not sales, accumulated profit, or drawings. Keeping the two accounts separate prevents the amount payable as loan from being confused with the partner’s residual capital claim. Therefore option A is correct.
