Working Note: -
Calculation of Actual Amount of Interest on X’s, Y's, & Z's Capital
Interest on Capital= Opening Capital X Rate of Interest
| Interest on X's Capital | = | 3,00,000 | X | 10 |
| 100 |
Interest on X's Capital = 30,000/-
| Interest on Y's Capital | = | 2,00,000 | X | 10 |
| 100 |
Interest on Y's Capital = 20,000/-
| Interest on Z's Capital | = | 1,50,000 | X | 10 | X | 6 |
| 100 | 12 |
Since Z is admitted on 1st October 2018 and Profit is ascertained on March 31, 2019, therefore, interest on capital is calculated for 6 months
Interest on Z's Capital = 7,500 /-
Calculation of distribution of profits among the partners
| X's Share of Profit | = | 1,27,500 | X | 4 |
| 10 |
X's Share of Profit = 51,000
| Y's Share of Profit | = | 1,27,500 | X | 3 |
| 10 |
Y's Share of Profit= 38,250
| Z's Share of Profit | = | 1,27,500 | X | 3 |
| 10 |
Z's Share of Profit = 38,250
Z's Actual Profit Share i.e. Rs 38,250 is less than his Minimum Guaranteed Profit i. e. Rs 40,000 (for 6 months only Since Z is admitted on 1st October 2018)
Deficiency in C's Profit Share= 40,000 − 38,250= Rs 1,750
This deficiency is to be borne by X because he personally guaranteed it.
Now, Final distributed among the partners
| X's Share of Profit | = | 51,000 | - | 1,750 | =49,250 |
| Y's Share of Profit | = | 38,250 | - | 0 | =38,250 |
| C's Share of Profit | = | 38,250 | + | 1,750 | =40,000 |
