If interest on capital has been wrongly debited to a partner's account, what is the correct rectification?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It should be credited

Interest on capital is an appropriation in favour of the partner, so its normal effect is to credit the partner's capital/current account and debit Interest on Capital (or P&L Appropriation). If the partner's account was wrongly debited, rectify by crediting the partner's account and debiting Interest on Capital. Option C (treat as drawings) is incorrect because drawings reduce capital, whereas interest on capital increases the partner's balance. Exam tip: remember the normal balance for appropriation items (interest on capital — credit partner; interest on drawings — debit partner).
