If interest on capital is wrongly debited to a partner's account, what will be the effect on the partner's capital balance?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Partners balance will appear lower

Interest on capital should be credited to the partner’s capital account as it increases the partner’s claim. If it is wrongly debited, the capital account will show a decrease and the partner’s balance will appear lower. The closest distractor B (higher) is incorrect because a debit entry reduces the account balance, not increases it. Options C and D are also wrong: the wrong debit does affect capital and does not ‘fix’ drawings. Exam tip: detect such errors by checking the trial balance and the profit & loss appropriation/interest schedules; rectify by reversing the wrong entry and then passing the correct credit entry to the capital account.
