* Personal account- Capital Account. Capital Account is a Personal Account. The Capital Account of a partner is classified as a Personal Account because it reflects the individual partner's investment in the partnership. Transactions related to the partner’s capital contributions and withdrawals are recorded in this account.

The Balance Sheet is indeed a position statement that provides a snapshot of the firm’s financial position at a specific point in time. It lists assets, liabilities, and equity, helping stakeholders understand the firm's net worth.

* Commission to a partner- Profit and Loss Appropriation A/c. Partner's Commission is an appropriation of profit and is debited to Profit and Loss appropriation. It is only provided if firm earns profit, in case of loss it is not given to partners.
