Where is retiring partner loan account shown in the balance sheet?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: On liabilities side

The direct answer is A: the retiring partner’s loan account appears on the liabilities side of the balance sheet. After retirement, any amount still payable to that partner is a debt of the firm. A liability means an amount that the business must pay to an outsider or creditor in the future. Therefore, the credit balance of the loan account is shown under liabilities, usually as a separate loan or payable. Option A is correct because the firm owes this money. Option B is wrong because an asset is something owned or recoverable by the firm, whereas this amount must be paid by the firm. Option C is wrong because the income side records revenues or gains, not outstanding loans. Option D is wrong because expenses are costs incurred to earn income; an unpaid partner’s loan is not an expense. Exam cue: ask, “Who owes whom?” If the firm owes the retiring partner, show it as a liability.
