Interest on capital is payable to a partner. If interest on capital has been wrongly debited to the partner's account, what is the correct accounting treatment? (Answer briefly)

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Credit partners' capital account

Interest on capital is payable to the partner (an appropriation of profit), so the correct journal entry is: Interest on Capital A/c Dr To Partners’ Capital A/c. If it was wrongly debited to the partner's account, rectify by crediting the partner's account and passing the correct entry (debit Interest on Capital A/c, credit Partner’s Capital A/c). Option B is wrong because debiting the partner's account would reduce capital whereas interest on capital should increase the partner’s capital. Exam tip: remember — appropriations and partner entitlements are credited to partner accounts; the expense/appropriation side is debited (Interest on Capital A/c).
