Dissolution of Partnership Firm

Question:

Give necessary journal entries for settlement of partner's loan at the time of dissolution of partnership firm under the following cases:

Loan from partner A ₹25,000 and his capital account shows a debit balance of ₹26,000.

Options:

A's loan A/c  Dr.    ₹25,000
Bank A/c     Dr.      ₹1,000
       To A's Capital A/c       ₹26,000

Bank A/c  Dr          ₹25,000
    To A's loan A/c              ₹25,000

A's loan A/c      ₹25,000
   To A's Capital A/c              ₹25,000

None of these

Correct Answer:

A's loan A/c  Dr.    ₹25,000
Bank A/c     Dr.      ₹1,000
       To A's Capital A/c       ₹26,000

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 1-
A's loan A/c  Dr.    ₹25,000
Bank A/c     Dr.      ₹1,000
       To A's Capital A/c       ₹26,000

1,000 will be brought by partner in bank account of firm. His capital balance is debit and loan has a balance of 26,000 so the 25,000 is adjusted against loan and remaining balance (26,000 - 25,000) i.e. 1,000 is brought by partner to the firm to make his capital balance nil. So, the following journal entry is made for this-
A's loan A/c  Dr.    ₹25,000
Bank A/c      Dr.    ₹1,000
       To A's Capital A/c       ₹26,000
