A partner gave a loan to the firm and the firm incurred a loss. The deed is silent. What is the correct treatment of interest on the loan?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Six percent annual interest will be payable as an expense

A loan advanced by a partner is treated separately from the partner’s capital. Under the usual partnership rule, when the deed is silent, the partner is entitled to interest on the loan at six percent per annum. This entitlement is a charge against the firm and does not depend on the existence of profit; consequently, even when the firm has incurred a loss, the interest remains payable. Therefore, option A is correct. The loss does not cancel the contractual or statutory entitlement, and the amount is not distributed in the profit-sharing ratio. It is recorded as an expense or charge payable to the partner, rather than being treated merely as a capital credit.
