What type of liability does a retiring partner's loan account represent?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Actual amount payable

A retiring partner’s loan account represents an actual liability because the firm has a definite obligation to pay the stated amount to the former partner. The amount is not imaginary or merely an accounting provision; it arises from the settlement of the partner’s claim and remains payable until installments or final payment are made. Therefore, option B is correct. Option A is wrong because a fictitious item does not represent a real resource or obligation. Option C describes a gain, not an amount owed, and it is unrelated to the loan account. Option D refers to an undisclosed reserve, which is different from a clearly recorded liability. The loan balance is normally shown on the liabilities side of the balance sheet, and payments reduce it. Any interest payable on the loan is treated separately according to the applicable agreement.
