Under the fluctuating capital method, drawings of Rs 20,000 were wrongly credited to the capital account. What is the total wrong effect on the capital balance?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Overstated by Rs 40,000

The governing concept is comparison with the entry that should have been made. Under the fluctuating capital method, drawings should be debited to the partner's capital account, reducing it by Rs 20,000. Instead, the amount was credited, which increases the capital balance by Rs 20,000. The distance between the correct balance effect of minus Rs 20,000 and the erroneous effect of plus Rs 20,000 is Rs 40,000. Therefore, the capital balance is overstated by Rs 40,000, making option A correct. An overstatement of Rs 20,000 would ignore the fact that the correct entry should have reduced capital. The error does not leave the balance unchanged and does not make it understated.
