Where will the retiring partner's loan account be shown in the partnership accounts? |
Assets side of B/S Liabilities side of B/S Debit side of P & L A/c Credit side of P & L A/c |
Liabilities side of B/S |
The correct answer is option 2- Liabilities side of B/S. The balance of the retiring partner’s loan account is shown on the liabilities side of the Balance Sheet till the last installment is paid to him/her. When a partner retires and the firm is not able to immediately pay their due amount, the amount payable is transferred to the Retiring Partner’s Loan Account. This amount becomes a liability for the firm until it is paid off. |
