Capital Accounts

Correct answer: A. Rs 2160

For monthly drawings in the middle average period is six months. Interest on Rs 48000 at nine percent for six months is Rs 2160.

Correct answer: A. About Rs 1667

May withdrawal carries interest for eleven months and January withdrawal for three months. Total interest is about Rs 1667.

Correct answer: A. Understated by Rs 16000

Interest on capital should have been credited but was debited. So the difference between correct and wrong balance is Rs 16000.

Correct answer: A. Rs 8000

After credits capital becomes Rs 140000. To get closing Rs 130000 drawings and interest total Rs 10000 so drawings are Rs 8000.

Correct answer: A. Rs 10000

Opening capital plus additional capital and salary minus drawings gives Rs 98000. Profit of Rs 10000 is needed to reach closing capital.

Correct answer: B. \(\text{Rs }120,000\)

Since capitals are to be in the profit ratio, \(A:B=5:3\). Total ratio parts \(=5+3=8\). B's share of total capital is \(\frac{3}{8}\times 320,000=120,000\). So B's required capital is \(\text{Rs }120,000\).

Correct answer: A. Rs 270000

In the ratio 2:3, A corresponds to 2 parts and B to 3 parts. A's 2 parts = Rs 180000 so one part = Rs 180000 ÷ 2 = Rs 90000. Therefore B's 3 parts = 3 × Rs 90000 = Rs 270000. Option D (Rs 300000) is a close distractor but would imply one part = Rs 100000, which is not the case here. Exam tip: To find a partner's required capital, divide the known partner's capital by their ratio share to get one part, then multiply by the other partner's share.

Correct answer: A. Should withdraw Rs 10000

Total ratio is six and first partners required capital is Rs 80000. Actual capital is Rs 90000 so Rs 10000 is excess.

Correct answer: A. Partners claim will increase twice

Direct answer: Option A, the partner’s claim will increase twice. Under the fixed capital method, the profit share should be credited only to the partner’s current account because the fixed capital account is kept unchanged for regular adjustments. Step by step: profit share of, for example, Rs X increases the partner’s claim once; crediting the current account records that increase correctly; crediting the capital account also records the same Rs X a second time; total recorded claim becomes Rs 2X instead of Rs X. Option A is correct. Option B, claim will reduce, is opposite because both entries are credits. Option C, the appropriation account will close, is unrelated; closing depends on proper transfer of profit, not duplicate crediting. Option D, no effect, is wrong because the partner’s balance and firm’s liability are overstated. Memory cue: fixed capital plus regular profit means current account only.

Correct answer: A. Understated by Rs 12,000

Partner salary is an appropriation (a payable) that reduces the profit available for capital. Omitting the salary from the books means the closing capital is understated by the exact unpaid salary amount, i.e. Rs 12,000. Option B is incorrect because omission does not overstate capital; it understates it. Option C would only be correct if the salary had been omitted twice (not stated). Option D is wrong because omission of a payable appropriation does affect closing capital. Exam tip: under fluctuating capital method, any unpaid appropriations (salary, interest on capital, drawings adjustments) directly change closing capital — omission understates the capital by that amount.

Correct answer: A. Debit concerned current account

Personal expense is like drawings and recoverable from partner. Under fixed method debit it to current account.

Correct answer: A. Remove drawings and credit partners account

The partner paid firms expense so his claim against the firm increases. It is not drawings but a credit item.

Correct answer: A. Rs 10000

Capital account is credited with the value of asset. Recording Rs 10000 less value understates capital by Rs 10000.

Correct answer: A. Rs 222000

After deducting current debit from capital claim the amount is Rs 202000. Adding separate loan of Rs 20000 gives total liability Rs 222000.

Correct answer: A. Loan and capital will not be shown separately

Direct answer: Option A, loan and capital will not be shown separately. A partner’s loan is money lent by the partner to the firm. It is a liability of the firm and is legally and conceptually different from the partner’s capital, which represents the partner’s ownership contribution. Therefore the balance sheet should present partner’s capital and partner’s loan separately. If the loan is wrongly added to capital, the total may appear unchanged, but the classification and presentation are wrong. Option A is correct. Option B is wrong because merely combining loan and capital does not automatically change profit. Option C is wrong because the error does not reduce drawings. Option D is wrong because presentation cannot itself increase the bank balance. The correct remedy is to remove the loan amount from capital and show it separately as a liability, subject to the relevant partnership presentation rules. Memory cue: capital means ownership contribution; partner’s loan means amount owed by the firm.

Correct answer: A. Rs 178000

Total capital is Rs 180000. Add As credit Rs 5000 and deduct Bs debit Rs 7000 to get Rs 178000.

Correct answer: A. Rs 80000 credit

Two credit balances total Rs 90000 and debit balance of Rs 10000 is deducted. Net capital is Rs 80000 credit.

Correct answer: A. Rs 10000

Total average capital = Rs 120,000 + Rs 80,000 = Rs 200,000. Interest = 5% of Rs 200,000 = (5/100)×200,000 = Rs 10,000, so option A is correct. Option B (Rs 12,000) might result from applying a wrong rate (e.g. 6%) or miscalculating one partner's interest separately; that is incorrect. Exam tip: add the partners' average capitals first, then multiply by rate/100 (or convert 5% to 0.05) to avoid calculation errors.

Correct answer: A. Rs 70000

All three amounts remained for equal time. Average of Rs 40000 Rs 70000 and Rs 100000 is Rs 70000.

Correct answer: A. Building value minus loan taken over

The firm received the asset but also accepted the liability. Partners net capital is asset value minus liability.

Correct answer: A. Amount may be recoverable from partner

A larger debit current balance may exceed capital claim. In that case net position becomes against the partner.

Correct answer: A. Rs 12000 debit

Debit current account exceeds capital credit by Rs 12000. Therefore As net position is Rs 12000 debit.

Correct answer: A. Debit in partners account

A debit capital balance means that the partner owes an amount to the firm or has a negative balance in the capital account. If the deed or applicable agreement requires interest to be charged on this debit balance, the charge is treated as an amount recoverable from the partner. A charge against a partner increases the debit in that partner’s account. This is the opposite of interest allowed on a credit capital balance.

Hence, the correct choice is A: debit the partner’s account. The entry records the interest as a charge to the partner, while the corresponding credit is made to the appropriate interest or firm account according to the accounting system used. It is not an item in the stock account, because the charge does not relate to goods. A loan account is also not the correct account merely because interest is involved. The supplied answer is consistent.

Correct answer: A. Rs 600

This is a simple interest calculation. Use \(I = P \times R \times T\). Here \(P=20,000\), \(R=6\%=0.06\) per annum and time \(T=6/12=\tfrac{1}{2}\) year. So \(I=20,000\times0.06\times\tfrac{1}{2}=600\). Therefore the interest is Rs 600. Option B (Rs 1200) is wrong because it assumes interest for a full year instead of half a year. Exam tip: always convert months into fraction of a year before using \(P\times R\times T\).

Correct answer: A. By returning capital to partners having excess capital

When additional capital is not brought total capital may be reduced to the ratio. Partners with excess capital withdraw money.
