In the case of fixed capital method, following two accounts are maintained.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

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  • Capital withdrawn permanently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.
