Which item is credited to a partner's capital or current account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Interest on capital

Interest on capital is a return allowed to the partner for the capital invested in the firm. It is an expense or appropriation for the firm and an amount due to the partner. Therefore, when the partner’s capital or current account is prepared, interest on capital is entered on its credit side, increasing the amount credited to that partner.

Drawings reduce the partner’s claim and are debited. Interest on drawings is charged to the partner and is also debited to the partner’s account. A personal expense paid by the firm is likewise treated as a drawing and reduces the partner’s account. Thus only interest on capital matches the description in the question, so option A is correct. The direction of the entry follows whether the item benefits or reduces the partner’s account.
