Profit for year = 30,000
Profit-sharing ratio = 3: 2: 1

A's Share of Profit = 15,000
| B's Share of Profit | 30,000 | X | 2 |

B's Share of Profit = 10,000

C's Share of Profit = 5,000
C's Actual Profit Share i. e. Rs 5,000 is less than his Minimum Guaranteed Profit i. e. Rs 6,000
Deficiency in C's Profit Share= 6,000 − 5,000= Rs 1,000
