How is the deceased partner’s share of revaluation loss recorded in the partner’s Capital Account?

Correct answer: Debited to the Capital Account

A revaluation loss is debited to the partner’s Capital Account because it reduces the net assets of the business and the partner’s capital claim. Thus, the deceased partner’s share of the loss is deducted from the partner’s Capital Account. In contrast, a revaluation profit is credited to the Capital Account. Exam tip: In the Revaluation Account, profit is credited and loss is debited; the corresponding effect is given to the partners’ Capital Accounts.
