Balance Sheet (for the year ended 31st March 2019)
| Liabilities |
Amount | Assets |
Amount | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| By Profit and Loss A/c | 75,000 | ||||
| By B's Capital A/c (Deficiency in Revenue) | 9,000 | ||||
| To Profit Transferred to *2 | |||||
| A's Capital A/c | 41,400 | ||||
| B's Capital A/c | 27,600 | ||||
| C's Capital A/c | 15,000 | 84,000 | |||
| 84,000 | 84,000 | ||||
Profit Already credited
Profit of the year =84,000
Profit-sharing Ratio =3 : 2: 1
| A's Share of Profit | 84,000 | X | 3 |
| 6 |
A's Share of Profit= 42,000
| B's Share of Profit | 84,000 | X | 2 |
| 6 |
B's Share of Profit = 28,000
| C's Share of Profit | 84,000 | X | 1 |
| 6 | |||
C's Share of Profit = 14,000
C’s Minimum Guaranteed Profit = Rs 15,000
C’s Actual Profit Share i.e. 14,000 is less than his Minimum Guaranteed Profit i.e. 15,000
Deficiency in Alia’s Profit Share = 15,000 − 14,000= Rs 1,000
This deficiency of Rs 20,000 is to be borne by A and B in the ratio of 3: 2
| A's Share of Profit | 1,000 | X | 3 |
| 5 |
A's Share of Profit = 600
| B's Share of Profit | 1,000 | X | 2 |
| 5 |
B's Share of Profit = 400
Now, Final distributed among the partners
| A’s Share of Profit | = | 42,000 | - | 600 | =41,400 |
| B's Share of Profit | = | 28,000 | - | 400 | =27,600 |
| C’s Share of Profit | = | 14,000 | + | 1,000 | =15,000 |
Note: - In the book, they have shown the net share of final profit to B is Rs 18,600 (27,600- 9,000), So, we have shown it in the solution of Rs 27,600. The deficiency of Rs 9,000 that was guaranteed by B to the firm would not be deducted from his share as he is bearing it in the form of profit.
