If interest ₹9600 is credited to retiring partner loan account and principal payment ₹40000 is made what is the net decrease in total liability?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹30400

The direct answer is A: the net decrease in total liability is ₹30,400. Interest credited to the retiring partner’s loan account increases the firm’s liability by ₹9,600. Payment of principal reduces the liability by ₹40,000. Therefore, net decrease = principal reduction − interest increase = ₹40,000 − ₹9,600 = ₹30,400. Option A is correct. Option B, ₹40,000, ignores the increase caused by credited interest. Option C, ₹49,600, incorrectly adds the two amounts, although they have opposite effects. Option D, ₹9,600, considers only the interest and ignores the principal payment. The important idea is to attach signs: payment is a decrease, while crediting interest is an increase in what the firm owes. Memory cue: net fall equals reduction minus any new liability added.
