Question 1.
A partner withdraws identical amount at the end of each month from the firm. At the end of the year total annual drawings is ₹ 12,000. 12 % p.a. interest is chargeable on drawings. Determine the amount of interest on drawings of the year.
Answer:
Total annual drawings (with identical amount at the end of each month) = ₹ 12,000
∴ Monthly drawings = (frac{12,000}{12}) = ₹ 1,000, Now, P = 1000, R = 12 and N = (frac{66}{12})
∴ Interest on drawings = I = (frac{text { PRN }}{100}) = 1,000 × (frac{12}{100}) × (frac{66}{12}) = ₹ 660

Question 2.
Amruta and Divya are the partners of a firm. Their capital ratio is 3 : 2. Amruta is to be paid 8% commission on net profit, after deduction of such commission. What amount will be received by Amruta if profit of the year is ₹ 96,876.
Answer:
Suppose profit after deduction of commission = ₹ 100
∴ Commission at 8% = ₹ 8
∴ Profit before commission = ₹ 108 (profit ₹ 100 + Commission ₹ 8)
Now, Commission for Amruta = 96,876 × (frac{8}{108}) = ₹ 7,176
∴ Profit after Commission = Total Profit – Commission = 96,876 – 7,176 = ₹ 89,700
Which is to be distributed among partners equally.
∴ Profit amount received by Amruta = (frac{89,700}{2}) = ₹ 44,850
∴ Total amount received by Amruta = Profit + Commission = 44,850 + 7,176 = ₹ 52,026

Question 3.

Answer:
Abhijit received ₹ 30,000 as profit share for his 2/9^th share
∴ 2/9 ^th share Profit = ₹ 30,000 then for 1 share (?) = 30, 000 × 1 × (frac {9}{2}) = ₹ 1, 35,000
∴ Divisible profit of a firm = ₹ 1,35,000
Now, manager is to be paid 10% commission on profit = 1,35,000 × (frac {10}{100}) = ₹ 13,500

Question 4.

∴ Deficit amount ₹ 5,000 is to be bear by Dhaval and Vinod in equal ratio e.g. ₹ 2,500.
∴ Final distribution of profit :
Mukesh : 30,000 + 5,000 = ₹ 35,000 ; Dhaval : 30,000 – 2,500 = ₹ 27,500
Vinod : 30,000 – 2,500 = ₹ 27,500

Partner C has received ₹ 73,500 including interest on capital. Determine the amount payable including interest on the capital of A and B ?
Answer:

Partner ‘C’ received ₹ 73,500 including interest on capital.
∴ Partner ‘C’ received ₹ 60,000 towards profit share [73,500 – 13,500]
Now A, B and C are partners sharing profit and loss equally.
∴ We can say that partners A and B also received ₹ 60,000 as profit share.
∴ Partner A received ₹ 66,750 including interest on capital [₹ 6,750 (int.) + ₹ 60,000 (profit)] and partner B received ₹ 80,250 including interest on capital [₹ 20,250 (int.) + ₹ 60,000 (profit)].

On ₹ 12,000 @ 10% for 4 months = ₹ 400 ∴ Total interest on capital for Laxmi = ₹ 2,400.

(2) Interest on loan to Isha @ 6%
on ₹ 3,000 for 9 months = 3,000 × (frac{6}{100} times frac{9}{12}) = ₹ 135
on ₹ 2,000 for 6 months = 2,000 × (frac{6}{100} times frac{6}{12}) = ₹ 60
Total interest = ₹ 195

(3) Interest on loan of Isha is debited to profit and loss account as an expense.

Question 12.
Prerna, Paras and Jaishri are the partenrs of a firm. On 1-4-2016 their capital was ₹ 1,50,000; ₹ 90,000 and ₹ 60,000 respectively. Their drawings were as follows :

Prerna ₹ 15,000 on 1-7-2016 and Paras ₹ 24,000 on 30-10-2016.

They distribute half profit in the capital proportion and remaining in the ratio of 2 : 2 : 1. Jaishri has lent out loan of ₹ 30,000 on 1-10-2016 to the firm. As per partnership deed per annum 5% interest on capital, per annum 12% interest on drawings is to be calculated. Paras is to be paid annual salary of ₹ 18,000 for his active role in the firm. 10% commission is to be given to Prerna from surplus of profit after providing for above mentioned provisions and after deduction of her such commission. For the year ending on 31-3-2017 profit of the firm before incorporation of the above mentioned adjustmetns but after charging interest on loan of Jaishri was ₹ 1,29,450.

It was decided that after the consideration of above mentioned adjustments and transfer of profit-loss to capital account, total capital of the firm would be identical to the opening capital, which should be in the proportion of 2:2 :1. For this purpose required amount will be introduced by the partners and excess amount will be withdrawn by the partners.

Prepare profit and loss appropriation account, partners’ capital accounts for the year ending on 31-3-2017.
Answer:


Note :
(1) Interest on drawing for 9 months of Prerna = 15,000 x (frac{12}{100} times frac{9}{12}) = ₹ 1,350

Interest on drawing for 5 months of Paras = 24,000 x (frac{12}{100} times frac{5}{12}) = ₹ 1,200

(2) Interest on loan of Jayshri for 6 months from 1-10-16 to 31-3-17 = 30,000 x (frac{6}{100} times frac{6}{12}) = ₹ 900.

(3) Interest on loan of Jayshri is debited to Profit and Loss A/c as an expense.
₹ In Profit and Loss Appropriation A/c, Profit amount is taken as ₹ 1,29,450.

(4) Profit before commission = 1,32,000 – 33,000 = ₹ 99,000
₹ Commission = 99,000 x (frac{10}{100}) = ₹ 9,000

(5) N.D.P. after commission = 99,000 – 9,000 = ₹ 90,000.
Half of this amount i.e. ₹ 45,000 distributed in capital ratio 5 : 3 : 2 and remaining half amount ₹ 45,000 distributed in 2 : 2 : 1 ratio as follows :

(6) At the end of the year, total capital should be equal to the opening capital balance ₹ 3,00,000. Which is distributed in 2 : 2 : 1 and amount is equals to ₹ 1,20,000; ₹ 1,20,000 and ₹ 60,000. After giving adjustments effects to Capital A/c, Paras will bring ₹ 1,200 cash in firm, while Prerna and Jayshri will withdraw ₹ 70,650 and ₹ 21,000 from the firm in cash.
