A payment made by bank to a retiring partner against the partner’s loan account was not recorded in the books. How will this error affect the balance of the loan account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The loan balance will be overstated

A bank payment to the partner is recorded by debiting the partner’s loan account, thereby reducing the firm’s liability. If the payment is omitted, this reduction is not recorded, so the loan balance remains higher than the actual amount payable. Hence, option A is correct; option B would generally result from recording an excess reduction, not from omitting the payment. Exam tip: A payment made against a liability usually debits and decreases that liability account.
