What is the usual entry for crediting interest to retiring partner loan account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Interest on loan debit and retiring partner loan credit

Direct answer: option A. When interest becomes due on a retiring partner’s loan, interest is an expense for the firm and increases the amount payable to the partner. The accounting rule is: debit the expense and credit the person or liability receiving the benefit. Therefore the entry is Interest on Loan Account Dr. to Retiring Partner’s Loan Account. Option A correctly debits interest and credits the retiring partner’s loan. Option B debits the loan and credits bank, which records a payment, not interest becoming due. Option C debits bank and credits interest, which would suggest receiving money and income, the opposite situation. Option D concerns capital and cash and has no connection with loan interest. The supplied answer is correct. Exam cue: expenses are debited; the liability or partner’s account is credited when it increases.
