Pranshu’s Share of Profit = 45,000
| Himanshu’s Share of Profit | = | 90,000 | X | 2 |
| 6 |
Himanshu’s Share of Profit =30,000
| Anshu’s Share of Profit | = | 90,000 | X | 1 |

Anshu’s Share of Profit= 15,000
Anshu’s Minimum Guaranteed Profit = Rs 30,000
Anshu’s Actual Profit Share i.e. 15,000 is less than his Minimum Guaranteed Profit i.e. 30,000

This deficiency of Rs 15,000 is to be borne by Pranshu’s
Now, Final distributed among the partners

| Himanshu’s Share of Profit | = | 30,000 | - | 0 | =30,000 |
| Anshu’s Share of Profit | = | 15,000 | + | 15,000 | =30,000 |
