On dissolution of a firm, partner's loan account is transferred to:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

When a firm is dissolved, a partner's loan account represents a liability that the firm owes to the partner. This liability needs to be paid off in cash.

The journal entry for payment of partner's loan is:

Partner's Loan Account Dr.

To Bank Account

The partner's loan is paid directly through the bank account and is not transferred to the Realisation Account. This is because:

  • Realisation Account is used only for realizing assets and settling external liabilities
  • Partner's loan is an internal liability and has a specific order of payment during dissolution
  • It is paid after external liabilities but before settling capital accounts

Order of Payment during Dissolution:

External Liabilities → Partner's Loans → Partner's Capital Accounts

Since the partner's loan is settled by making an actual cash payment, it is transferred to (paid through) the Bank Account.
