In the journal entry for interest due on a retiring partner’s loan, which account is debited?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Interest on Loan Account

The governing concept is the double-entry treatment of an expense when it becomes due. Interest on a retiring partner’s loan is a charge against the firm because the firm has used the outstanding loan and must bear the related cost. Therefore, when interest becomes payable, the entry is: Interest on Loan Account Dr. and Retiring Partner’s Loan Account Cr. The expense account is debited because expenses increase on the debit side, while the partner’s loan account is credited because the amount owed to the partner increases. Bank is not debited or credited merely because interest becomes due; it is affected only on actual payment. General Reserve is unrelated because this is not a reserve distribution or adjustment. Hence, option A is correct.
