Goods damaged amounting to Rs 3,500 is recoverable from a partner. How will this be recorded in the partner's account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Debit partner's account

If the loss is recoverable from a partner, the partner is liable to compensate the firm; this reduces the partner's claim (capital). In bookkeeping, charging a partner is recorded by debiting the partner's account. Hence Rs 3,500 is debited to the partner's account. Option B is incorrect because crediting the partner would increase his claim, which contradicts the situation. Options C and D are irrelevant here — interest or reserve adjustments are not the normal entry for a recoverable loss. Exam tip: Ask yourself who owes money — if the partner owes the firm, debit the partner's account.
