If opening capital is omitted while preparing the capital account, what error will occur?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Partner's capital will be understated

Opening capital is a primary credit item of a partner's capital account. Omitting it will understate that partner's capital balance and hence understate total capital in the balance sheet. Option B states the opposite (overstatement) so it is incorrect. Option C could be a secondary/indirect consequence if profit distribution depends on capital ratios, but it is not the immediate error. Option D is wrong because omission from the capital account does not directly change bank/cash balances unless another entry was also missed. Exam tip: always list and tick off all opening balances on the credit side and cross-check totals when preparing capital accounts.
