Got some queries concerning Accounts mcq
1.What does a credit balance on a partner’s current account represent to a business? (j04/p1/6 - num 30)
A current asset
B current liability
C long-term liability
D part of the capital

answer is d part of capital
but really don't understand why? shouldn't it be a liability to the business since it will have to pay them

2. No adjustment has been made in a club's Income and Expenditure Account for the year ended
31 December 2003 for subscriptions prepaid for 2004.What is the effect of this error? (j04/p1/7 num 32)

Surplus of income over expenditure Balance Sheet
A overstated current assets understated
B overstated current liabilities understated
C understated current assets understated
D understated current liabilities understated

answer should be B but how?

not sure for the 1st question but the second 1 is b becomes subscriptions is an income hence prepaid subscriptions will be a current liability and since it hasn been accounted for the current liabilities will be understated and the income is overstated because the amount received is not for the current year.
