If a partner's share of loss is wrongly credited instead of debited, what error will result?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Partner's capital will be shown higher

A partner's share of loss is normally debited to reduce the partner's capital. Crediting that loss instead will artificially increase the partner's capital balance, so the capital will be shown higher than it should be. The closest distractor B is incorrect because it describes the opposite effect (showing capital lower). Options C and D are less directly related—the primary and immediate error is overstatement of capital. Exam tip: remember losses reduce capital (debit); if an entry produces the opposite sign, check for reversed debit/credit posting.
