What is the effect of adding interest to the retiring partner's loan account on the firm's liability?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Liability increases

The direct answer is A: liability increases. A retiring partner’s loan account represents an amount that the firm must pay to that partner. Interest on this loan is also an amount payable by the firm. Therefore, when interest is added, the firm’s total obligation becomes larger. For example, if the principal due is ₹20000 and interest is ₹1200, the liability before payment becomes ₹21200. Option A is correct. B is wrong because adding an amount payable cannot reduce the liability. C is wrong because interest does not cancel the principal or end the loan. D is wrong because an amount owed by the firm remains a liability, not an asset. The partner’s loan account may be credited with the interest, while the firm recognises the increased amount due. Memory cue: payable interest increases a liability.
