If interest on the outstanding loan balance is not calculated, which error will occur?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Liability will be understated

The governing concept is that interest on a partner’s loan is an expense of the firm and also an amount payable to the partner. Therefore, it must be added to the outstanding loan balance. If the interest is omitted, the loan account will show less than the amount actually owed. Consequently, total liabilities are understated, and the related interest expense may also be omitted from the profit calculation. Option A is correct because the recorded liability is lower than the true liability. Option B would apply only if interest were recorded twice or at an excessive amount. Options C and D are unrelated because omission of loan interest does not directly reduce assets or increase sales.
