The turnover of the firm for the year ended $31^{\text {st }}$ March, $2018$ amounted to ₹ $20,00,000$. Pass necessary journal entries for the above transactions in the books of Sonu and Rajat.
Answer

Working Notes:
  1. Computation of interest on drawings of partners:
Drawings of sonu = 20,000
Drawings of Rajat = 12 × 5,000 = 60,000
Interest on Sonu's drawings $=20,000\times\frac{6}{100}\times\frac{4}{12}=400$
Interest on Rajat's drawings $=60,000\times\frac{6}{100}\times\frac{5.5}{12}=1,650$
  1. Computation of divisible profit and its distribution between partners:
Profit as per the profit and Loss Account = 4,89,950
Divisible profit = Net profit + Interest on Drawings - Interest on Capital - Salary to Sonu - Commission to Rajat
Divisible Profit = 4,89,950 + 2,050 - 1,12,000 - 2,40,000 - 1,00,000 = 40,000
Sonu's share in divisible profit $=40,000\times\frac{3}{5}=24,000$
Rajat's share in divisible profit $=40,000\times\frac{2}{5}=16,000$

Showing your workings clearly prepare Profit and Loss Appropriation Account and the Capital Account of Jay, Vijay and Karan for the year ended $31^{\text {st }}$ March, $2018.$
Answer

Working Note:
Computation of divisible profit and its distribution between partners:
Divisible profit = 11,65,000
Jay's share in divisible profit $=11,65,000\times\frac{2}{5}=4,66,000$
Vijay's share in divisible profit $=11,65,000\times\frac{2}{5}=4,66,000$
Karan's share in divisible profit $=11,65,000\times\frac{1}{5}=2,33,000$
Profit share guaranteed to Karan $= 5,00,000$
Deficiency to Karan's share in profit $= 5,00,000 - 2,33,000 = 2,67,000$
Deficiency to be borne by Jay $=2,67,000\times\frac{3}{5}=1,60,200$
Deficiency to be borne by Vijay $=2,67,000\times\frac{2}{5}=1,06,800$
Final Share in Divisible Profit for:
Jay $= 4,66,000 - 1,60,200 = 3,05,800$
Vijay $= 4,66,000 - 1,06,800 = 3,59,200$
Karan $= 2,33,000 + 1,60,200 + 1,06,800 = 5,00,000$

Question 136 Marks
A, B and C are partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 3 : 2 : 1. They earned a profit of ₹ 30,000 during 2017-18. Distribute profit among A, B and C if:
  1. C's share of profit is guaranteed to be ₹ 6,000 minimum.
  2. Minimum profit payable to C amounting to ₹ 6,000 is guaranteed by A.
  3. Guaranteed minimum profit of ₹ 6,000 payable to C is guaranteed by B.
  4. Any deficiency after making payment of guaranteed ₹ 6,000 will be borne by A and B in the ratio of 3 : 1.
Answer
Case a.
Working Notes:
Profit = ₹ 30,000
Profit sharing ratio = 3 : 2 : 1
C is given a guarantee of minimum profit of ₹ 6,000
A's Profit Share $=30,000\times\frac{3}{6}₹\ 15,000$
B's Profit Share $=30,000\times\frac{2}{6}₹\ 10,000$
C's Profit Share $=30,000\times\frac{1}{6}₹\ 5,000$
Deficiency in C’s Profit Share = 6,000 − 5,000 = ₹ 1,000
This deficiency is to be borne by A and B in their profit sharing ratio i.e. 3 : 2
Deficiency borne by $\text{A}=1,000\times\frac{3}{5}₹\ 600$
Deficiency borne by $\text{B}=1,000\times\frac{2}{5}₹\ 400$
Therefore,
Final Profit Share of A = 15,000 − 600 = ₹ 14,400
Final Profit Share of B = 10,000 − 400 = ₹ 9,600
Final Profit Share of C = 5,000 + 1,000 = ₹ 6,000
Case b.

Working Notes:
Deficiency in C’s Profit Share = 6,000 − 5,000 = ₹ 1,000
This deficiency is to be borne by A only.
Therefore,
Final Profit Share of A = 15,000 − 1,000 = ₹ 14,000
Final Profit Share of B = ₹ 10,000
Final Profit Share of C = 5,000 + 1,000 = ₹ 6,000
Case c.

Working Notes:
Deficiency in C’s Profit Share = 6,000 − 5,000 = ₹ 1,000
This deficiency is to be borne by B only.
Therefore,
Final Profit Share of A = ₹ 15,000
Final Profit Share of B = 10,000 − 1,000 = ₹ 9,000
Final Profit Share of C = 5,000 + 1,000 = ₹ 6,000
Case d.

Working Notes:
Deficiency in C’s Profit Share = 6,000 − 5,000 = ₹ 1,000
This deficiency is to be borne by A and B in the ratio of 3 : 1.
Deficiency borne by $\text{A}=1,000\times\frac{3}{4}₹\ 750$
Deficiency borne by $\text{B}=1,000\times\frac{1}{4}₹\ 250$
Therefore,
Final Profit Share of A = 15,000 − 750 = ₹ 14,250
Final Profit Share of B = 10,000 − 250 = ₹ 9,750
Final Profit Share of C = 5,000 + 1,000 = ₹ 6,000

Answer
Calculation of Interest on Drawings:
Case (a). In this case interest will be charged for six months because it will be assumed that the drawings were made evenly throughout the year:
$60,000 \times\frac{8}{100}\times\frac{6}{12} = ₹\ 2,400$
Case (b). In this case interest will be charged for 6.5 months as the drawings are made in the beginning of every month:
$60,000 \times\frac{8}{100}\times\frac{6.5}{12} = ₹\ 2,600$
Case (c). In this case interest will be charged for 5.5 months as the drawings are made at the end of every month:
$60,000 \times\frac{8}{100}\times\frac{5.5}{12} = ₹\ 2,200$
Case (d). In this case interest will be charged for 6 months as the drawings are made during i.e., middle of every month.
$60,000 \times\frac{8}{100}\times\frac{6}{12} = ₹\ 2,400$
Case (e).

Interest = Total of Products $\times\frac{8}{100}\times\frac{1}{12}$
$= 3,21,000 \times\frac{8}{100}\times\frac{1}{12} = ₹\ 2,140$

Question 236 Marks
X and Y contribute ₹ 20,000 and ₹ 10,000 respectively towards capital. They decide to allow interest on capital @ 6% p.a. Their respective share of profits is 2 : 3 and the net profit for the year is ₹ 1,500. Show distribution of profits:
  1. Where there is no agreement except for interest on capitals.
  2. Where there is an agreement that the interest on capital as a charge.
Answer
Calculation of Interest on Capital
Interest on X's Capital $=20,000\times\frac{6}{100}=₹\ 1,200$
Interest on Y's Capital $=10,000\times\frac{6}{100}=₹\ 600$
Total Amount of interest on Capital = 1,200 + 600 = ₹ 1,800
Case 1:
Where there is no clean agreement except for interest on capitals
Profit for the year ended = ₹ 1,500
Total amount of interest = ₹ 1,800
Here, total amount of interest on capital is more than the profit available for distribution.
Therefore, profit of ₹ 1,500 is distributed between X and Y in the ratio of their interest on capital.

Y will get Interest on X's Capital $=1,500\times\frac{1}{3}=₹\ 500$
Case 2:
In case, there is a clear agreement that the interest on capital will be allowed even if the firm has incurred loss, then the whole amount of interest on capital is to be allowed to the partners.
Interest on X's Capital $=20,000\times\frac{6}{100}=₹\ 1,200$
Interest on Y's Capital $=10,000\times\frac{6}{100}=₹\ 600$
Total Profit of the firm = ₹ 1,500
Total amount of Interest on Capital = ₹ 1,800 (i.e. ₹ 1,200 + ₹ 600). Therefore, loss to the firm amounts to ₹ 300. This loss is to shared by X and Y in their profit sharing ratio that is 2 : 3.
Loss to X $=300\times\frac{2}{5}=₹\ 120$

Answer
Working Notes:
WN1: Calculation of Remuneration to C as a Manager
Salary to C = ₹ 27,000
Commission to C = 10% of Net Profit after Salary and Commission
Net Profit after Salary and Commission = 2,25,000 − 27,000 = ₹ 1,98,000
$\therefore \text{Commission to C}=1,98,000\times\frac{10}{110}=₹\ 18,000$
C’s remuneration as Manager = Salary + Commission = 27,000 + 18,000 = ₹ 45,000
WN2: Calculation of Profit Share of C as a Partner
Profit = ₹ 2,25,000
C's Profit Share $=2,25,000\times\frac{1}{4}=₹\ 56,250$
Part of C’s Profit Share to be borne by A = 56,250 − 45,000 = ₹ 11,250
Profit available for distribution between A and B = 2,25,000 − 45,000 = ₹ 1,80,000
A's Share of Profit $=1,80,000\times\frac{3}{5}=₹\ 1,08,000$
B's Share of Profit $=1,80,000\times\frac{2}{5}=₹\ 72,000$

Net Profit after Salary and Commission = 8,40,000
Commission to Z $=8,40,000\times\frac{5}{105}=₹\ 40,000$

Dholu's share of profit (excluding interest on capital but including salary) is guaranteed at a minimum of ₹ 1,10,000 p.a. Any deficiency arising on that account shall be met by Asgar. The profit for the year ended 31st March, 2018 amounted to ₹ 4,24,000.
Prepare Profit and Loss Appropriation Account for the year ended 31st March, 2018.
Answer
Working Notes:
Profit available for distribution = 4,24,000 – (1,20,000 + 84,000 + 40,000) = ₹ 1,80,000
Profit sharing ratio = 4 : 2 : 3
Asgar's Profit Share $=1,80,000\times\frac{2}{9}₹\ 80,000$
Chaman's Profit Share $1,80,000\times\frac{2}{9}=₹\ 40,000$
Dholu's Profit Share $=1,80,000\times\frac{2}{9}=₹\ 60,000$
Dholu’s Minimum Guaranteed Profit = ₹ 1,10,000 (excluding interest on capital, but including salary)
Dholu’s Minimum Guaranteed Profit (excluding salary) = 1,10,000 – 40,000 = ₹ 70,000
But, Dholu’s Actual Profit Share = ₹ 60,000
Deficiency in Dholu’s Profit Share = 70,000 - 60,000 = ₹ 10,000
This deficiency is to be borne by Asgar alone.
Therefore,
Asgar’s New Profit Share = 80,000 - 10,000 = ₹ 70,000

Question 386 Marks
Illustrate how interest on drawings will be calculated under various situations.
Answer
When a partner withdraws any amount, either in cash or in any other form, from the firm for his/ her personal use, then it is termed as drawings. The interest charged by the firm on the amount of drawings is termed as interest on drawings. The method of calculating interest on drawings depends on the information available for time and frequency of the drawings made by the partner. The following different situations of drawings made illustrate the calculation of interest charged on drawings. Situation I: When all the information regarding amount, date and rate of interest on drawings is given When a partner withdrew ₹ 10,000 on July 01 and interest on drawings is charged at 12% pa and the firm closed its books on December 31 every year then interest on drawings amount to Rs 600. Interest on drawing $=\text{Total Amount Drawn}\times\frac{\text{Rate of Interest}}{100}\times\frac{\text{Period}}{12}$ Interest on drawings $=10000\times\frac{12}{100}\times\frac{6}{12}=₹\ 600$ Situation II: When information regarding amount, rate of interest on drawings is given:Case I Sometimes amount and rate of interest on drawings (per annum) is given but date is not mentioned in this case when the details regarding the amount of drawings and rate of interest on drawings (pa) is given but the date of drawings is not given then interest will be charged on average basis and the period of drawings will be taken as 6 months,
Interest on drawings $=10,000\times\frac{12}{100}\times\frac{6}{12}=₹\ 600$
Case II Sometimes the amount and rate of is interest on drawings is given but the date and per anum rate of interest is not mentioned.
In this case when the date and the rate of interest aim given but per annum is not specified, then annual interest is charged.
e.g., if a partner withdraws ₹ 10 000 and interest rate is 12%, then the interest on drawings amounts to ₹ 12, 000.
Interest on drawing $=\text{Total Amount withdraw}\times\frac{\text{Rate}}{100}$
Interest on drawings $=10000\times\frac{12}{100}=₹\ 1,200$
Situation III: When a fixed amount is withdrawn at regular intervalCase I Sometimes a fixed amount is withdrawn at the beginning of each month and the rate of interest is given then the interest is calculated for 6-5 months.
e.g. If a partner withdraws ₹ 1,000 in the beginning of every month and the rate of interest is 12% pa, then the interest on drawings amount to Rs 780.
Interest on drawings $=12,000\times\frac{12}{100}\times\frac{65}{12}=₹\ 780$
Total amount of drawings = (1,000 × 12) = ₹ 12,000
Case II Sometimes a fixed amount is withdrawn at the end of each month and the rate of interest is given then the interest is calculated for 5.5 months.
e.g..if a partner withdraws ₹ 1.000 at the end of each month arid rate of interest is 12% pa then the interest on drawings amount to ₹ 660.
Interest on drawings $=\text{Total amount of drawings}\times\frac{\text{Rate}}{100}\times\frac{5.5}{12}$
Interest on drawings $=12,000\times\frac{12}{100}\times\frac{5.5}{12}=₹\ 660$
Case III Sometimes a fixed amount is withdrawn at the mid of each month and the rate of interest is given then the interest is calculated for 6 months.
e g. if a partner.withdraws ₹ 1,000 on 15th of every month and the rate of in’crest is 12% pa then the interest on drawings amount to ₹ 720.
Interest on drawings $=\text{Total amount of drawings}\times\frac{\text{Rate}}{100}\times\frac{6}{12}$
Interest on drawings $=12,000\times\frac{12}{100}\times\frac{6}{12}=₹\ 720$
Case IV If a fixed amount is withdrawn in the beginning of every quarter then the interest is calculated for 7.5 months.
e.g. If a partner withdraws ₹ 5,000 in the beginning of every quarter and the rate of interest is 12% pa then the interest on drawings amount to ₹ 1,800.
Interest on drawings $=\text{Total amount of drawings}\times\frac{\text{Rate}}{100}\times\frac{7.5}{12}$
Interest on drawings $=20,000\times\frac{12}{100}\times\frac{7.5}{12}=₹\ 1,800$
Total amount of drawings = 5000 × 4 = ₹ 20,000
Case V If a fixed amount is withdrawn at the end of every quarter, then the interest is calculated for 4.5 months.
e.g., If a partner withdraws ₹ 5,000 at the end of every quarter and the rate of interest is 12% pa then the interest on drawings amounts to ₹ 900.
Interest on drawings $=\text{Total amount of drawings}\times\frac{\text{Rate}}{100}\times\frac{4.5}{12}$
Interest on drawings $=20,000\times\frac{12}{100}\times\frac{4.5}{12}=₹\ 900$
Total amount of drawings = 5000 × 4 = ₹ 20,000
Situation IV: When different amount is at different intervals
When different amount is withdrawn by a partner at different dates then the interest is calculated by product method. The period of drawings is calculated from the date of withdrawal to the last date of the accounting year,
e.g., A partner withdraws? 6,000 on March 01, ₹ 4,000 on June 01, ₹ 5,000 on Aug 30 and ₹ 2,000 on Nov 30 and the rate of interest on drawings is 12% pa. The firm closes its book on December 31.

Interest on drawings $=\text{Sum of product}\times\frac{\text{Rate}}{100}\times\frac{1}{2}$ Interest on drawings $=1,15,000\times\frac{12}{100}\times\frac{1}{12}=₹\ 1,150$

Rohit is guaranteed a minimum profit of ₹ 2,00,000 for the year. Any deficiency in Rohit's share is to be borne by Ankur and Bobby in the ratio 4 : 1. Loss for the year was ₹ 10,00,000. Pass the necessary Journal entries.
Answer
Working Notes:
WN1: Calculation of New Ratio.
Rohit's Share $=\frac{1}{5}$
Let total share $=1$
Remaining Share $=1-\frac{1}{5}=\frac{4}{5}$
Ankur's New Share $=\frac{4}{5}\times\frac{3}{5}=\frac{12}{25}$
Bobby's New Share $=\frac{4}{5}\times\frac{2}{5}=\frac{8}{25}$
New Ratio $=12:8:5$
WN2: Calculation of Share of Loss.
Ankur's Share of Loss $=10,00,000\times\frac{12}{25}=₹\ 4,80,000$
Bobby's Share of Loss $=10,00,000\times\frac{8}{25}=₹\ 3,20,000$
Rohit's Share of Loss $=10,00,000\times\frac{5}{25}=₹\ 2,00,000$
WN3: Calculation of Deficiency
Amount payable to Rohit = Guaranteed Profit Amount + Loss transferred to Rohit’s Capital A/c
Amount payable to Rohit = 2,00,000 + 2,00,000 = ₹ 4,00,000
Deficiency is to be borne by Ankur and Bobby in the ratio of 4 : 1
Deficiency to be borne by Ankur $=4,00,000\times\frac{4}{5}=₹\ 3,20,000$
Deficiency to be borne by Bobby $=4,00,000\times\frac{1}{5}=₹\ 80,000$

Question 406 Marks
How will you deal with a change in profit sharing ratio among existing partners? Take imaginary figures to illustrate your answer?
Answer
Change in the profit sharing ratio occurs only in case of the admission, retirement or death of a partner or sometimes due to the general agreement among the partners in which they may decide to change the profit sharing ratio. There may be number of issues that should be considered during the change in the profit sharing ratio such as goodwill, reserves and accumulated profits, profit or loss on the revaluation of assets and liabilities and adjustment of capital, etc. As far as the issue related to general reserve is concerned it is basically the accumulated profits (if any) and profit (or loss) on revaluation of assets and liabilities and should be distributed in the partner’s capital account in partners old profit sharing ratio. Sometimes the existing partners may decide to change the profit sharing ratio then some partners gain at the cost of other partners. In other words one partner gain and other one sacrifice equal to the gain. In that case the former should compensate the latter. Therefore, the gaining partner’s capital account’s are debited to the extent of their gain and sacrificing partner’s capital accounts are credited to the extent of their sacrifice. The following journal entry is passed:
Example: Ram. Mohan and Shyam are partners in a firm sharing profit and loss in 3 : 2 : 1 ratio. They decide to share profit and loss equally in future. On dm: date, the books of the firm shows ₹ 2.40.000 as general reserve, profit on evaluation of Plant and Machinery ₹ 60.000. The following adjustment entry is passed through the capital accounts without affecting the books of accounts.
Hence, in the above example. Shyam gains at the cost of Ram. So the Ram needs to be compensated by Shyam with the amount of ₹ 50.000. The following adjustment entry is passed.

A and B are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 2 : 1. They decided to admit C, their manager, as a partner from 1st April, 2017, giving him $\frac{1}{5}\text{th}$ share of profit. C, while a manager, was getting a salary of ₹ 50,000 p.a. plus a commission of 10% of the net profit after charging such salary and commission. It was also agreed that any excess amount which C receives as a partner (over his salary and commission) will be borne by A.
Profit for the year ended 31st March, 2018 amounted to ₹ 6,44,000, before payment of salary and commission. Prepare Profit and Loss Appropriation Account.
Answer

Working Notes:
WN1: Calculation of Remuneration to C as a Manager.
Salary to C = ₹ 50,000
Commission to C = 10% of Net Profit after Salary and Commission.
Net Profit after Salary and Commission = 6,44,000 - 50,000 = ₹ 5,94,000
Commission to C $=5,94,000\times\frac{10}{110}=₹\ 54,000$
C’s remuneration as Manager = Salary + Commission = 50,000 + 54,000 = ₹ 1,04,000
WN2: Calculation of Profit Share of C as a Partner.
Profit = ₹ 6,44,000
C's Profit Share $=6,44,000\times\frac{1}{5}=1,28,800$
Part of C’s Profit Share to be borne by A = 1,28,800 - 1,04,000 = ₹ 24,800
Profit available for distribution between A and B = 6,44,000 - 1,04,000 = ₹ 5,40,000
A's Share of Profit $=5,40,000\times\frac{2}{3}=3,60,000$
B's Share of Profit $=5,40,000\times\frac{1}{3}=1,80,000$
A’s Profit share after adjusting C’s deficiency = 3,60,000 - 24,800 = ₹ 3,35,200

Question 426 Marks
Ankur, Bhavna and Disha are partners in a firm. On 1st April, 2017, the balance in their Capital Accounts stood at ₹ 14,00,000, ₹ 6,00,000 and ₹ 4,00,000 respectively. They shared profits in the proportion of 7 : 3 : 2 respectively. Partners are entitled to interest on capital @ 6% per annum and salary to Bhavna @ ₹ 50,000 p.a. and a commission of ₹ 3,000 per month to Disha as per the provisions of the partnership Deed.
Bhavna's share of profit (excluding interest on capital) is guaranteed at not less than ₹ 1,70,000 p.a. Disha's share of profit (including interest on capital but excluding commission) is guaranteed at not less than ₹ 1,50,000 p.a. Any deficiency arising on that account shall be met by Ankur. The profit of the firm for the year ended 31st March, 2018 amounted to ₹ 9,50,000.
Prepare 'Profit and Loss Appropriation Account' for the year ended 31st March, 2018.
Answer
Working Notes:
Profit available for distribution = 9,50,000 - (1,44,000 + 50,000 + 36,000) = ₹ 7,20,000
Profit sharing ratio = 7 : 3 : 2
Ankur's Profit Share $=7,20,000\times\frac{7}{12}=₹\ 4,20,000$
Bhavna's Profit Share $=7,20,000\times\frac{3}{12}=₹\ 180,000$
Disha's Profit Share $=7,20,000\times\frac{2}{12}=₹\ 1,20,000$
Bhavna’s Minimum Guaranteed Profit = ₹ 1,70,000 (excluding interest on capital)
But, Bhavna’s Actual Profit Share = ₹ 1,80,000
This implies that there is no deficiency in Bhavna’s profit share as her actual profit share (i.e. ₹ 1,80,000) exceeds his minimum guaranteed profit share (i.e. ₹ 1,70,000).
Disha’s Minimum Guaranteed Profit = ₹ 1,50,000 (including interest on capital but excluding salary)
Disha’s Minimum Guaranteed Profit (excluding interest) = 1,50,000 - 24,000 = ₹ 1,26,000
But, Disha’s Actual Profit Share = ₹ 1,20,000
Deficiency in Disha’s Profit Share = 1,26,000 – 1,20,000 = ₹ 6,000
This deficiency is to be borne by Ankur alone.
Therefore,
Ankur’s New Profit Share = 4,20,000 - 6,000 = ₹ 4,14,000

  • The profit-sharing ratio of the partners was 3 : 2 : 1.
Showing your workings clearly, pass the necessary rectifying entry.
Answer
Calculation of Interest on Capital:
For the calculation of interest on capital, Opening Capital has to be ascertained:

Total Interest on Capital = ₹ 32,300 + ₹ 25,800 – ₹ 20,500 =₹ 78,600
Calculation of Interest on Drawings:
Esha and Manav each withdrew a sum of ₹ 48,000 in equal installments in the middle of every
month. Hence interest on drawings will be charged for 6 months:
$48,000\times\frac{6}{12} \times\frac{5}{100} = ₹\ 1,200\ \text{each}$
Interest on Daman’s Drawings $ = ₹\ 60,000 \times\frac{ 6}{12}\times\frac{5}{100} = ₹\ 1,500$
(Date of Drawings is not given, hence interest will be charged for 6 months)

X, Y and Z are partners with capitals of ₹ 4,00,000; ₹ 3,00,000 and ₹ 2,00,000 respectively. They charge 8% p.a. interest on their capitals and divide the profits in the ratio of 3 : 2: 1. Xhas guaranteed that Z's share shall not amount to less than ₹ 50,000 in any one year
Their Drawings duringthe year were ₹ 50,000; ₹ 40,000 and ₹ 35,000 respectively. Net profits for the year before providing interest on capitals was ₹ 2,52,000. Prepare P & L Appropriation A/c and capital accounts.
Answer

Working Note:
Net Profit after Interest on Capital = ₹ 2,52,000 – ₹ 72,000 = ₹ 1,80,000
Share of Profit $ = \text{X} :₹\ 1,80,000 \times\frac{2}{6} = ₹\ 60,000$
$ = \text{Y} :₹\ 1,80,000 \times\frac{2}{6} = ₹\ 60,000$
$ = \text{Z} :₹\ 1,80,000 \times\frac{1}{6} = ₹\ 30,000$
The minimum guaranteed amount to Z is ₹ 50,000 whereas his share of profit amounts to ₹ 30,000. Hence, the deficiency of ₹ 20,000 will be deducted from A's share and will be added to Z’s share.

Record the necessary journal entries to give effect to the above.
Answer
Amount Paid to Chandan as Manager.
  1. Salary @ 750per manth × 12 × 4 = 36,000
  2. $\text{Interest on Loan} = 20,000 ×\frac{9}{100}×4= 7,200$
Total amount payable as manager 36,000 + 7,200 = 43,200

Amount Payable to Chandan as partner

Share in profit

Total Profit of firm = 59,000 + 62,000 + 78,000 - 4,000

= 1,95,000

(+) Salary as Manager = 36,000

(+) 9% - 6% = 3%

Interest on deposit 20,000 for 4 years = 2,400

Total divisible profit = 2,33,400

Chandan's Share in profit $=2,33,400\times\frac{1}{6}=38,900$

(+) Interest on capital for 4 years @ 6% $20,000\times\frac{6}{100}\times4=4,800$

Total amount payable as Partner = 43,700

Difference in chandan's share = 43,700 - 43,200 = 500
