Partnership Loans
- Partnerships can borrow money from a partner if needed, for a set period. These loans aren't part of the business's capital. They're treated like outside loans.
- Unlike investing more capital, loans to a partnership from a partner have a set repayment time and interest.
- Interest on partner loans is a business expense, not affected by the profit or loss amount.
Loan Recording
- Obtaining a loan: Debit bank account, Credit loan from partner X account
- Repaying a loan: Debit loan from partner X account, Credit bank account
- Financial Position: The loan account is a non-current liability.
- Interest Payment (Paid): Debit interest on loan account, Credit bank account
- Interest Payment (Due, but not paid): Debit interest on loan account, Credit partner X current account
- Interest (Income Statement): Interest on the loan account is transferred to the income statement's debit side.
