If partner A has been mistakenly allotted less profit, on which side will A's account appear in the adjustment entry?

Correct answer: Credit side

Since A received less profit, A is entitled to receive additional amount. In the adjustment entry the partner who should receive more is credited. Typically the partners who were overpaid are debited and A's account is credited. Exam tip: Ask yourself “who should get more?”—that person’s account is credited in the adjustment entry.
