Under fixed capital method profit share was recorded in capital account and also in current account. What is the main effect?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Partners claim will increase twice

Direct answer: Option A, the partner’s claim will increase twice. Under the fixed capital method, the profit share should be credited only to the partner’s current account because the fixed capital account is kept unchanged for regular adjustments. Step by step: profit share of, for example, Rs X increases the partner’s claim once; crediting the current account records that increase correctly; crediting the capital account also records the same Rs X a second time; total recorded claim becomes Rs 2X instead of Rs X. Option A is correct. Option B, claim will reduce, is opposite because both entries are credits. Option C, the appropriation account will close, is unrelated; closing depends on proper transfer of profit, not duplicate crediting. Option D, no effect, is wrong because the partner’s balance and firm’s liability are overstated. Memory cue: fixed capital plus regular profit means current account only.
