In adjustment entries, why is a partner's account credited when he receives less profit than his entitled share?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because an additional amount is payable to him

When a partner receives less than his entitled share, the firm owes him the shortfall, so his claim on the firm increases and his account is credited (liability/claim increases on credit side). The closest distractor, B, would apply in the opposite case — if the partner had received more than his share then the firm would recover the excess and his account would be debited. Exam tip: Always determine whether the partner got 'less' or 'more' than entitled — less → credit the partner's account; more → debit it.
