The deed does not mention the rate of interest on a partners loan to the firm. What rate applies according to law?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Six percent per annum

The direct answer is option B: six percent per annum. Under the standard Partnership Act rule used in school accountancy, when a partner gives a loan to the firm and the deed does not state the rate, interest is allowed at 6% per year. This is different from interest on a partner’s capital. A partner’s loan is treated as a liability or borrowing of the firm, so the statutory rate applies when the agreement is silent. Option A is wrong because the rate is not zero; silence does not remove the statutory entitlement. Option B is correct because it is the prescribed default rate. Option C is wrong because 12% is not the standard statutory rate for this situation. Option D is wrong because loan interest is not calculated according to the profit-sharing ratio; that ratio is used for dividing profit, not for deciding the legal interest rate on a loan. The interest is generally treated as a charge against profit, meaning it is considered before the divisible profit is shared. Memory cue: partner’s loan, deed silent = 6% per annum.
