Credit balance of loan account and interest due both have what nature in balance sheet?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Liability

A credit balance in a partner’s loan account means that the firm owes money to the partner. It is not money receivable by the firm. Interest that has become due but has not been paid has the same basic character: the firm must pay it to the concerned partner. Therefore, both amounts represent obligations of the firm and are shown on the liabilities side of the balance sheet.

The correct choice is A, Liability. The word “credit” alone should not be confused with income; here it records an amount payable. Similarly, due interest is not treated as an asset because the firm cannot recover it from the partner. Both the loan balance and unpaid interest increase the firm’s total liabilities until settlement is made. This treatment follows the basic rule that an amount payable by a business is a liability.
