When a retiring partner is partly paid in cash and the remaining amount is treated as a loan, the journal entry recorded is: |
Retiring Partners' Loan A/c Dr. (Total Amount due) Cash/Bank A/c Dr. (Amount Paid) Retiring Partners' Capital A/c Dr. (Total Amount due) Retiring Partners' Capital A/c Dr. (Total Amount due) |
Retiring Partners' Capital A/c Dr. (Total Amount due) |
When a retiring partner is partly paid in cash and the remaining amount is treated as a loan, the correct journal entry is option 4. It involves debiting the Retiring Partners' Capital Account for the total amount due, crediting the Cash/Bank Account for the amount paid in cash, and crediting the Retiring Partners' Loan Account for the amount treated as a loan. This entry reflects the partial cash payment made to the retiring partner and the transfer of the remaining amount to the loan account. |
