When a partnership's net loss is distributed among partners, what entry is made in their capital or current accounts?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Their capital/current accounts will be debited

A loss reduces partners' claims (their capital/current balances), so partners' capital or current accounts are debited when the loss is distributed. The typical journal entry is: (Partner A's Capital/Current A/c) Dr. ... To Profit & Loss A/c (or Appropriation A/c). Option B is incorrect because accounts are credited only when profit is distributed. Option C is a common trap — when transferring a loss, the Profit & Loss account is credited (not debited) to clear its debit balance. Exam tip: Memorize the rule — loss distributed → debit partners' accounts; profit distributed → credit partners' accounts and recall the standard journal entry form.
