If partners personal expense was treated as firm expense what should be done in correction?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Debit concerned partner

A partner’s personal expense is not an expense incurred for the business. If the firm pays it or records it as a firm expense, the firm’s books wrongly reduce business profit and fail to show that the partner has taken a personal benefit. In accounting terms, such a payment is treated as drawings by the concerned partner.

Drawings reduce the partner’s capital or current account, so the concerned partner’s account must be debited with the amount of the personal expense. The mistaken firm expense should also be removed or reversed as part of the complete correction. Crediting the partner would incorrectly increase the partner’s claim, while debiting sales or crediting goodwill has no logical connection with the personal payment. Therefore, option A is correct.
