Which is the correct entry for final payment of the loan to a retiring partner?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Debit Retiring Partner's Loan Account, Credit Bank Account

The governing rule of double-entry is that payment of a liability decreases the liability and decreases the asset used for payment. At final settlement, the retiring partner’s loan account has a credit balance representing the amount owed. Debiting that account cancels the liability, while crediting Bank records the cash outflow. The entry is therefore: Retiring Partner’s Loan Account Dr. To Bank Account. Debiting Bank would incorrectly show money received, Profit and Loss Account is not used for repayment of principal, and Sales Account has no connection with the settlement. Thus, option A is correct.
