If a partner paid a firm expense from personal funds and it was not recorded in the books, what entry will be made in the partner's account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It will be credited

Since the partner paid on behalf of the firm, the firm owes the partner. The correct journal entry is: Expense A/c Dr and Partner’s Current/Capital A/c Cr. Therefore the partner’s account is credited. Option A (debited) is wrong because the partner’s claim increases (credit) rather than decreases. Option D (treated as drawings) is incorrect because drawings represent withdrawals by the partner for private use; here the partner has advanced funds for firm expenses, increasing his claim. Exam tip: Record immediately as Expense Dr; Partner’s A/c Cr (or Partner’s Loan A/c Cr if you want to show it separately).
