Question 32 Chapter 2 of +2-A

Calculation of Interest on Partner’s Drawings: -

32. A and B are partners sharing profits equally. A drew regularly 4,000 at the end of every month for six months ended 30th September, 2019. Calculate interest on drawings @ 5% p.a. for a period of six months.

The solution of Question 32 Chapter 2 of +2-A:

Calculation of interest on partner's Drawings
If partners withdraw the same amount of drawing on a regular basis then we can calculate the interest on drawing with help of the following formula: -
Interest on Drawing = Total Drawing X Rate of Interest X Period/12 Months
Rate of Interest = 6%
Period = the period/time will be calculated with the help of the following formula: -

Period	=	Time left after 1st withdrawal + Time left after Last withdrawal
		2

Withdrawal at the end of every month = 4,000 p.m.
It means 1st withdrawal has made on 30/04/2019
So, Time left from 30/04/2019 to 30/09/2019
are 5 Months
And last withdrawal has made on 30/09/2019
So, Time left from 30/09/2019 to 30/09/2019
are 0 Months and 0 day
Now, put this time period in the formula

Period	=	5 + 0
		2

Period	=	5
		2

Period

=

2.5

total Drawing

=

4,000

X

6

=24,000 Multiplied by 6 because the number of withdrawals in 6 months will be 6.

Interest on A’s Drawing	=	24,000	X	5	X	2.5
				100		12

Interest on A’s Drawing =250/-each
