What does cash payment made to a retiring partner do in the loan account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Reduces liability

The direct answer is A: cash payment reduces the liability. A retiring partner is owed money by the firm. Until payment, that amount is a liability. When the firm pays cash, the payable amount becomes smaller; the accounting entry is to debit the partner’s loan account and credit Cash or Bank. Thus the liability decreases. Option A is correct because money paid out settles part of the obligation. Option B is wrong because payment does not create an additional obligation. Option C is wrong because payment itself does not increase interest; interest is calculated separately according to the agreed rate and period. Option D is wrong because the retiring partner’s capital has already been transferred or settled; paying cash does not increase capital. Remember: payment to a creditor means less liability; cash goes out, so Cash or Bank is credited.
