On which side of the balance sheet is a retiring partner’s loan shown?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Liabilities side

The governing concept is classification according to who owes the amount. After retirement, any amount due to the former partner that is not paid immediately becomes a loan of the firm. The firm is the debtor and the retiring partner is the creditor, so the loan represents an external or other liability. It is therefore shown on the liabilities side of the balance sheet, normally separately from the continuing partners’ capital accounts. Option B is correct. It is not an asset because the firm cannot recover it, and it is neither an expense nor income; those are statement-of-profit concepts rather than balance-sheet classifications.
