If a partner is to be allowed interest on capital of Rs. 800, how will it be recorded in the partner's account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Credit

Interest on capital allowed to a partner is treated as an appropriation of profit and is credited to the partner's capital/current account. In the books, Profit & Loss Appropriation (or P&L distribution) is debited and the partner's account is credited by Rs. 800. Option B (Debit) is wrong because debiting the partner would reduce their balance; interest on capital increases the partner's account. Exam tip: if interest is 'allowed' to partner → credit the partner; if interest is 'charged' (e.g., on drawings) → debit the partner.
