If the capital account has a credit balance and the current account has a debit balance, what is the correct analysis of the firm’s financial position?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The firm owes the partner capital, but the debit current-account balance is recoverable from the partner.

The governing concept is the separate interpretation of credit and debit balances in partners’ accounts. A credit balance in the capital account represents the amount invested or retained for the partner; from the firm’s viewpoint it is a liability payable to that partner and appears on the liabilities side. A debit balance in the current account means that debits such as drawings or losses exceed the credits given to the partner. It is an amount recoverable from the partner and is therefore treated as an asset or deduction from the partner’s claim. Thus option A correctly identifies two opposite effects. Options B, C and D incorrectly give both balances the same nature.
