In the journal entry for distributing a loss among partners, what happens to the partners' accounts?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: They are debited

A loss reduces partners' capital or current balances. To allocate the loss, partners' capital/current accounts are debited and the loss is credited to Profit & Loss (or Profit & Loss Suspense) account. Option B is incorrect because accounts are credited when profits are distributed, not when losses are allocated. Option C is wrong — partners' accounts are not closed for routine loss allocation (closing happens on dissolution). Option D is irrelevant — losses are not transferred to the bank. Exam tip: remember the rule — loss allocated to partners = debit their accounts; profit allocated = credit their accounts.
