Which of the following items is generally debited to the deceased partner’s capital account?

Correct answer: Share of accumulated losses

The deceased partner’s share of accumulated losses is debited to the capital account because it reduces the partner’s capital. In contrast, the share of general reserve, goodwill, and profit up to the date of death is generally credited to the account. Exam tip: Items that reduce a partner’s capital, such as losses and drawings, are debited.
