When a partner has been paid more than his rightful share of profit, why is his partner account debited during adjustments?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because the excess amount is recoverable from him

Core concept: When a partner is paid more than his rightful share, he has effectively taken money from the firm and hence owes the firm. In accounting this recoverable amount is shown by debiting the partner's account, indicating a receivable from the partner.
Why option A is wrong: Saying his claim increases is incorrect — taking excess reduces the firm's net claim on the partner and creates a receivable (debit) rather than increasing the partner's claim.
Exam tip: Debit a partner's account when the partner owes money to the firm (excess payment or drawings); credit it when the firm owes the partner (e.g., profit allocated but unpaid).
