Working Note: -
*1 Calculation of Interest on A's & B's Capital
Interest on Capital= Opening Capital X Rate of Interest
| Interest on A's Capital | = | 50,000 | X | 5 |
| 100 |
Interest on A's Capital = 3,000/-
| Interest on B's Capital | = | 30,000 | X | 6 |
| 100 |
Interest on B's Capital = 1,800/-
*2 Calculation of Commission to Partners
| Commission to A | = | 2% on Turnover |
| Turnover | = | 3,00,000 |
| Commission to A | = | 3,00,000 | X | 2 |
| 100 |
Commission to A = 6,000/-
| Commission to B | = | 5% on Profits after all Expense including such Commission |
| Profit after all Expense | = | 50,000 − 4,800 − 6,000 − 6,000 = Rs 33,200 |
| Commission to B | = | Profit after all Expense | X | Rate |
| 100 + Rate |
| Commission to B | = | 33,200 | X | 5 |
| 100 + 5 |
| Commission to B | = | 33,200 | X | 5 |
| 105 |
Commission to B = 1,581/- (app.)
*3: -Calculation of share of profit of A's & B's
Profit-Sharing Ratio = 3: 1
Net Profit after interest & Salary = 31,619
| Profit share of A | = | 31,619 X 3/4 |
| Profit share of A | = | 23,714/- |
| Profit share of B | = | 31,619 X 1/4 |
| Profit share of B | = | 7,905/- |
