When a partnership firm is dissolved, final payment made to partners is transferred to

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

When a partnership firm is dissolved, the final settlement involves paying the remaining amount due to partners from their Capital Accounts.

The journal entry for final payment to partners is:

Partners' Capital A/c Dr.

To Bank A/c

The payment to partners is transferred to Bank A/c because cash or bank balance is paid out to settle their capital balances.


The sequence during dissolution is:

Realisation A/c → handles sale of assets and payment of liabilities

Profit/Loss on realisation → transferred to Partners' Capital A/c

Partners' Capital A/c → final balance paid through Bank A/c

Since Bank A/c is credited (cash goes out) when making the final payment to partners, the payment is transferred to Bank A/c.

The correct option is 4: Bank A/c
