If a partner's capital account shows a credit balance and the firm has taken a separate loan from the same partner, which of the following statements is correct?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Capital and loan are distinct claims and must be recorded and presented separately

Capital and a loan from a partner are different in nature. Capital represents the partner’s permanent stake (partners’ funds) while a loan is a liability of the firm with its own terms (interest, repayment schedule). Accounting practice requires separate ledger accounts and separate presentation on the balance sheet — capital under partners’ funds and the loan under liabilities (current or long‑term as applicable). Options B and C are wrong because a loan does not automatically merge into or get cancelled by capital unless there is an explicit agreement (for example, conversion of loan into capital). Option D is incorrect in usual practice: drawings are withdrawals by a partner and reduce capital, but an agreed loan taken by the firm should be treated as a liability, not as drawings. Exam tip: always verify the contractual terms — only a written agreement can convert or set off a loan against capital; otherwise present them separately.
