Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Under the Fixed Capital Method, partners maintain two separate accounts:

  • Capital Account (remains fixed, shows only permanent changes)
  • Current Account (records all routine transactions)

Let me examine each item:

(A) Fresh capital introduced - This represents a permanent increase in capital. When a partner brings in additional capital, it changes the capital base permanently → Recorded in Capital Account ✓

(B) Permanent capital withdrawn - When capital is withdrawn permanently (not a temporary drawing), it reduces the fixed capital → Recorded in Capital Account ✓

(C) Interest on capital - This is a periodic adjustment/profit distribution item. Under fixed capital method, all adjustments like interest on capital, interest on drawings, salary, commission, share of profit/loss are recorded in Current Account, not Capital Account ✗

(D) Amount of capital brought down from the previous year - This is the opening balance of fixed capital that continues from the previous period → Appears in Capital Account ✓

The Capital Account under fixed capital method only records:

  • Initial capital introduced
  • Fresh capital introduced
  • Permanent withdrawals of capital
  • Opening and closing balances

All other adjustments (interest, salary, drawings, profit/loss share) go to the Current Account.

Therefore, items (A), (B) and (D) only appear in the Capital Account.
