What is the effect of an amount paid in the loan account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Loan payable decreases

The governing concept is the reduction of a liability through settlement. A retiring partner’s loan represents an amount payable by the firm. When the firm pays part or all of that loan, the outstanding obligation becomes smaller by the amount paid. In ledger terms, the loan account is debited to reduce its credit balance, while cash or bank is credited because funds leave the business. Therefore option A is correct. Payment does not increase the loan; an increase would arise from a new credit such as accrued interest. It also does not automatically increase goodwill or sales, because those are separate accounting matters. The effect is specifically a decrease in loan payable.
