Solution
When dealing with partners' accounts, we need to understand how different transactions affect the Capital and Current Accounts.
(A) Bank (fresh capital introduced)
When a partner brings fresh capital into the business, the journal entry is:
Bank A/c Dr
To Partner's Capital A/c
This increases the partner's capital investment. Therefore, it appears on the Credit side of Partner's Capital Account → (IV)
(B) Interest on drawings
Interest on drawings is a charge levied on partners for withdrawing money from the business. Under the Fixed Capital Method, the entry is:
Partner's Current A/c Dr
To Interest on Drawings A/c
This reduces the partner's entitlement. Therefore, it appears on the Debit side of Partner's Current Account → (I)
(C) Bank (permanent withdrawal of capital)
When a partner permanently withdraws capital (not a temporary drawing), the entry is:
Partner's Capital A/c Dr
To Bank A/c
This reduces the partner's capital balance. Therefore, it appears on the Debit side of Partner's Capital Account → (II)
(D) Commission
Commission is a reward/income for the partner. Under the Fixed Capital Method, the entry is:
Profit & Loss Appropriation A/c Dr
To Partner's Current A/c
This increases the partner's entitlement. Therefore, it appears on the Credit side of Partner's Current Account → (III)
The correct matching is: (A) - (IV), (B) - (I), (C) - (II), (D) - (III)
