What is the effect of recording payment in a retiring partner's loan account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Loan balance decreases

A retiring partner’s loan is a liability because it records the amount still payable by the firm. When the firm makes a payment, part or all of that obligation is settled. Consequently, the credit balance of the loan account decreases; in ledger terms, the payment is entered on the debit side of the loan account, with Bank or Cash credited. Therefore, option B is correct. Option A states the opposite effect and would be wrong because payment cannot increase the amount owed. Option C concerns revenue from business operations and has no connection with settlement of a liability. Option D is also incorrect because payment of the loan does not increase the former partner’s capital; it reduces the firm’s bank balance and the loan liability. The exact decrease equals the principal portion paid, excluding any separately identified interest.
