If the firm pays a partner’s personal expense but records it as a Profit and Loss expense, what effect on the partner’s capital or current account has been omitted?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A debit for drawings in the partner’s account has been omitted.

The governing concept is the distinction between a firm expense and a partner’s personal expense. A personal payment does not benefit the business; it is treated as drawings by the concerned partner. The correct entry would debit the partner’s capital account under the fluctuating-capital method, or debit the partner’s current account under the fixed-capital method, and credit Bank or Cash. If the amount is wrongly debited to Profit and Loss, the firm’s profit is understated and the partner’s account is not debited. Hence the omitted effect is a drawings debit, making option A correct. Options B and C incorrectly increase the partner’s credit, while D ignores the personal nature of the payment.
