If interest on drawings of Rs 2,500 is not recorded in a partner's account, how will the capital or current balance appear?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Overstated by Rs 2,500

The governing concept is the omission of a debit that should have reduced the partner's balance. Interest on drawings is charged to the partner because the partner has used the firm's funds; therefore, it should be debited to the partner's capital or current account. A debit of Rs 2,500 would reduce that balance. If the entry is omitted, the reduction does not take place, so the recorded balance remains Rs 2,500 higher than the correct balance. Hence, option A is correct. It is not understated because no excess debit has been made. The amount is not Rs 5,000 because omission creates one missing debit of Rs 2,500, not two opposite entries. The error affects presentation even though no immediate cash payment is involved.
