Until it is paid, how is the amount due to a deceased partner classified in the firm’s books?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: देयता (Liability)

The amount due to a deceased partner may include the partner’s capital, share of accumulated profits, goodwill adjustments and other profit or loss adjustments. Until settlement, this amount represents an obligation of the firm and is therefore classified as a liability. It is generally transferred to the deceased partner’s executor’s account. It is not treated as the firm’s capital because, after the partner’s death, the amount becomes payable to the partner’s legal representative. Exam tip: the amount remains a liability until payment; on payment, the liability is discharged and cash or bank balance decreases.
