If interest on capital of Rs 6,000 is debited to a partner's account instead of being credited, what is the wrong effect on the capital balance?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Understated by Rs 12,000

The governing concept is the effect of an incorrect debit replacing a required credit. Interest on capital is an appropriation in favour of the partner and should normally be credited to the partner's capital or current account, increasing the balance by Rs 6,000. If it is wrongly debited, the balance decreases by Rs 6,000 instead. The difference between the correct increase of Rs 6,000 and the erroneous decrease of Rs 6,000 is Rs 12,000. Consequently, the partner's capital balance is understated by Rs 12,000, so option A is correct. An understatement of Rs 6,000 considers only the wrong debit and ignores the missed credit. The balance is not overstated and the error certainly has an effect.
