If a partner gives a loan to the firm, should it be merged with the capital account or shown separately?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It should be shown separately in the partner’s loan account

The governing concept is the separate legal and accounting nature of partner’s capital and partner’s loan. Capital represents the partner’s ownership interest, while a loan represents money advanced to the firm as a creditor claim. Consequently, the loan is recorded in a separate partner’s loan account and is shown separately from capital. Interest on the loan may also be governed by rules different from those for interest on capital, depending on the agreement and applicable law. Option A is therefore correct. It is not drawings, sales, or automatically part of capital; options B, C, and D confuse distinct transactions.
