In the case of fixed capital method, following two accounts are maintained.
In the case of fixed capital method, following two accounts are maintained.
Solution
In partnership accounting, the Fixed Capital Method requires maintaining two separate accounts for each partner.
Capital Account remains fixed and shows only the following:
- Initial capital introduced
- Additional capital introduced
- Capital withdrawn permanently
All other transactions and adjustments are recorded in the Current Account, which includes:
- Interest on capital
- Interest on drawings
- Partner's salary/commission
- Share of profit or loss
- Drawings for personal use
This separation ensures that the capital balance remains constant unless there is a permanent change in capital contribution.
Balance Sheet is a financial statement, not an account maintained in the books. Revaluation Account is prepared only during specific events like admission, retirement, or death of a partner, not as a regular feature of the fixed capital method.
Therefore, Option 3: Capital account and Current account is correct.
