Salary to C =27,000
Commission to C = 10% of Net Profit after Salary and Commission
Net Profit after Salary and Commission =2,25,000 − 27,000 = Rs 1,98,000
| Commission to C | 1,98,000 | X | 10 |
| 100 + 10 |
| Commission to C | 1,98,000 | X | 10 |
| 110 |
Commission to C =18,000
| C’s remuneration as Manager | = | Salary | + | Commission |
| = | 27,000 | + | 18,000 | |
| = | 45,000 |
