Which option gives the correct difference between loan interest and principal repayment?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Interest is an expense, while principal repayment reduces liability

The governing concept is the different accounting nature of interest and principal repayment. Interest on a partner’s loan is a finance cost or expense of the firm, normally charged to the Profit and Loss Account according to the applicable agreement and accounting treatment. Principal repayment is not an expense; it reduces the outstanding loan liability and the bank balance. Hence option B correctly distinguishes them. Option A wrongly treats both as profit appropriations, while C reverses their nature and D incorrectly sends both items to the Revaluation Account, which is used for revaluation gains or losses rather than routine loan settlement.
