In a partnership, interest on capital of Rs 9,000 was omitted from the capital account. Under the fluctuating capital method, what will be the effect on the closing capital?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Understated by Rs 9,000

Interest on capital is a credit entry that increases a partner’s capital. Under the fluctuating capital method, such adjustments are posted directly to the capital account. Omitting the Rs 9,000 credit therefore understates the closing capital by Rs 9,000. The closest distractor (B) is wrong because an omitted credit cannot cause an overstatement. Option C would only be true if an additional error doubled the omission. Exam tip: identify whether the omitted item is a debit or credit — an omitted credit understates capital, an omitted debit overstates it.
