Under the fixed-capital method, a return of capital of Rs 30,000 is treated as ordinary drawings and debited to the current account. What is the error?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The current account was reduced instead of the capital account.

The governing concept is the distinction between ordinary drawings and withdrawal of capital under the fixed-capital method. Ordinary drawings are periodic personal withdrawals and are debited to the partner’s current account, leaving fixed capital unchanged. A return of capital, however, is a reduction of the partner’s permanent investment in the firm. It must be debited directly to the partner’s capital account, with Bank or Cash credited. Debiting the current account leaves capital overstated and current-account drawings overstated. Therefore option A identifies the error correctly. Option B reverses the required entry, C confuses a capital transaction with income, and D incorrectly approves the treatment.
