If interest on capital is debited to the appropriation account, what is the corresponding entry in the partner's account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Credit in partner's account

Interest on capital is an appropriation (a distribution of profit) payable to the partner. When it is debited in the appropriation account (the debit side showing the charge), the corresponding double-entry is a credit to the partner’s account—reflecting the amount payable to that partner. The closest distractor, option B, is wrong because debiting the partner’s account would imply the partner owes money, which is not the case. Option C is wrong because the bank is affected only when actual payment is made, not at the appropriation stage. Exam tip: For appropriation entries remember: charges or allocations are debited in the appropriation account and credited to the beneficiary’s capital/current account.
