If a partner paid a personal expense from the firm's bank account, how should it be shown in the capital accounts?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: As drawings

When firm funds are used to pay a partner's personal expense, it is not a business expense but a withdrawal by the partner. Therefore it is treated as drawings and recorded on the debit side of the partner's capital/current account (or posted to a Drawings account and later adjusted against capital). The option 'As firm expense' is incorrect because the expense is not for business purposes; 'As additional capital' is incorrect because the partner did not contribute funds to the firm but withdrew them. Exam tip: remember the journal entry — Drawings A/c Dr; To Bank A/c — and then reduce the partner's capital or transfer the drawings to the capital account.
