If the partnership deed provides for penal interest on a partner's drawings that exceed capital, whose income will this penal interest be treated as?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: For the firm

Penal interest charged on drawings is collected from the partner, so it constitutes income of the firm. Accounting entry typically debits the partner’s drawings/current account and credits the interest on drawings (treated as firm income), which is shown in the Profit & Loss account. Option A is wrong because the interest is not the partner’s income but an amount payable by the partner. Exam tip: remember — interest on capital is partner’s income; interest on drawings is firm’s income.
