If a partner's share of loss is not recorded in the books, how will his/her capital account be affected?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It will show a higher (overstated) balance

A partner’s share of loss is debited to his capital account, reducing the capital balance. If that debit entry is omitted, the reduction is not recorded and the capital balance will be overstated (appear higher). The closest distractor B is incorrect because omission removes the decreasing entry — it does not make the balance lower. Option C would only occur if the unrecorded loss exactly equals the capital, which is not generally the case. Option D is irrelevant: omission of a partner's loss does not double profit; it distorts the capital balances. Exam tip: Reconcile profit/loss appropriation entries with capital accounts when checking for omissions or errors.
