Interest due was added to a retiring partner's loan account and only the interest was paid through bank. What is the effect on principal?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Principal will remain unchanged

The governing concept is allocation of a payment to the specific component named in the transaction. Once interest has been credited to the retiring partner’s loan account, the account contains both principal and accrued interest. If the bank payment is expressly for interest only, the interest liability is settled, but no amount is applied against the principal. Consequently, the principal loan balance remains unchanged, so option B is correct. Option A would require a payment against principal; option C is an extreme and unsupported conclusion; option D is impossible because repayment of principal does not create income for the firm.
