Where will the balance of a retiring partner's loan account appear in the balance sheet?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Liabilities side

The governing classification principle is that a retiring partner’s loan represents an amount payable by the firm after the partner’s capital or settlement amount has been converted into a loan. Since the firm owes this balance, it is a liability rather than an asset. Accordingly, the outstanding balance appears on the liabilities side of the balance sheet, so option B is correct. Option A is incorrect because an asset is a resource controlled by the firm, whereas this loan is an obligation. Option C is unsuitable because the balance itself is not an income or expense; only related interest may affect the income statement. Option D is also wrong because every outstanding liability must be presented in the appropriate financial statement. Payments reduce the liability, while unpaid balance continues to be shown until settlement.
