Under fixed capital method interest on capital is credited to which account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Current Account

Direct answer: Option A, Current Account. Under the fixed capital method, the balance in each partner’s Capital Account is intended to remain unchanged except for permanent additions or reductions. Routine annual adjustments are therefore recorded in the partner’s Current Account. Step by step: calculate interest on capital according to the deed; treat it as an amount due to the partner; credit the partner’s Current Account, because the partner’s entitlement increases while fixed capital itself is not altered. Option A is correct. Option B, Capital Account, is used for the fixed capital balance and permanent capital changes, not ordinary recurring adjustments under this method. Option C, Loan Account, records a loan given by or taken from a partner; interest on capital is not automatically loan interest. Option D, Purchases Account, records goods bought for resale or production and has no connection with partners’ capital remuneration. The phrase ‘fixed capital method’ is the key: drawings, interest on drawings, interest on capital, salary and commission generally pass through Current Accounts, while the Capital Accounts remain fixed. In contrast, under a fluctuating capital method, such adjustments may be posted directly to Capital Accounts. Memory cue: fixed capital means routine partner adjustments go to current account.
