A gave a loan of Rs 30,000 to the firm. Why should it be shown separately instead of being merged with the capital account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Loan and capital have different natures

The governing concept is the legal and accounting distinction between a partner’s capital and a partner’s loan to the firm. Capital represents the partner’s ownership interest and is generally subject to the partnership agreement regarding profit, loss, and return of capital. A loan, in contrast, is a separate liability of the firm to the partner. It normally has a repayment obligation and may carry interest under the agreement or applicable partnership rules. Therefore, the loan should be recorded in a separate Partner’s Loan Account rather than merged with the capital account, making option A correct. Options B and C misclassify the transaction, while option D is the opposite of the true liability position.
