If credit for asset brought by partner should have been Rs 45000 but was recorded as Rs 54000 by how much is capital overstated?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Rs 9000

The direct answer is Rs 9,000, so option A is correct. A partner’s capital account is credited when the partner brings an asset into the business. The amount credited should be Rs 45,000, but the books show Rs 54,000. The excess credit is found by subtraction: Rs 54,000 − Rs 45,000 = Rs 9,000. Since a credit increases the capital balance, the capital is shown Rs 9,000 too high. Option A, Rs 9,000, is correct because it is exactly the excess recorded. Option B, Rs 45,000, is the correct amount of the asset, not the overstatement. Option C, Rs 54,000, is the amount actually recorded, not the extra amount. Option D, Rs 99,000, incorrectly adds the two figures instead of finding their difference. Remember: for an overstatement, subtract the correct figure from the recorded figure.
