In a partnership, why is a partner's name written on the capital account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: To show and maintain each partner's capital separately

A capital account records a partner's contributions and the changes in their capital balance. Since each partner has a distinct capital balance, the partner's name is written on the capital account to identify and track that specific capital separately. Option B is incorrect because capital accounts are not for customer identification; customers are recorded in receivables or customer ledgers. Option C is incorrect because inventory/goods are recorded in stock or purchases accounts, not in capital accounts. Option D is incorrect because tax rates are not set by a partner's capital account. Exam tip: when asked about the purpose of a particular ledger account, match the account's primary function (e.g., capital account → partner capital and changes) rather than related business activities.
