What is the basis for showing partners’ capital on the liabilities side of the balance sheet?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Firm is responsible for returning this amount to the partners

The governing concept is the liability aspect of owners’ capital in a partnership. Capital contributed by partners becomes part of the firm’s resources, but the firm is a separate accounting entity for recording purposes and must ultimately account for the partners’ claims. The amount represents money or assets belonging to the partners that are invested in the business; on dissolution or settlement, the firm is responsible for returning the amount after considering profits, losses and other adjustments. Therefore partners’ capital is shown on the liabilities side. It is not sales, because no revenue is earned merely by receiving capital; it is not a cash expense; and it is not an asset belonging to a customer.
