Solution
Under the Fixed Capital Method, partners maintain two accounts: Capital Account and Current Account.
Analyzing each statement:
(A) The capitals of the partners shall remain fixed unless additional capital is introduced or capital is withdrawn.
This is correct. The Capital Account balance remains unchanged throughout the year. Only fresh introduction or permanent withdrawal of capital affects this account.
(B) All items like share of profit or loss, interest on capital, drawings, interest on drawings, etc. are recorded in Partner's Current Account.
This is correct. All adjustments and transactions (profit/loss share, interest on capital, salary, commission, drawings, interest on drawings) are recorded in the Current Account, keeping the Capital Account undisturbed.
(C) The partners' capital accounts will always show a debit balance.
This is incorrect. Partners' Capital Accounts show credit balance as capital is a liability for the partnership firm. Capital contributed by partners is owed back to them.
(D) The partners' current account may show a debit or a credit balance.
This is correct. The Current Account shows:
- Credit balance → when share of profit, interest on capital, etc. exceed drawings
- Debit balance → when drawings, interest on drawings exceed share of profit, interest on capital, etc.
Statements (A), (B) and (D) are correct regarding Fixed Capital Method.
