What does credit balance of retiring partner loan account indicate?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Firm remaining liability

A partner's loan account records an amount that the firm owes to a partner after the partner retires. A credit balance means the amount stands on the credit side of the account, so the firm has not yet paid it completely. It is therefore an outstanding obligation of the firm, not an asset, income, or stock balance.

The retiring partner's capital account is settled separately, while any unpaid amount due to that partner is transferred to the partner's loan account. Since the firm must pay this amount later, the credit balance represents the firm's remaining liability. Thus option A is correct. A debit balance would have a different meaning, but it is not the situation described here.
