A, B and C are partners. During the year ended 31st March, 2025, each of the partners withdrew ₹10,000 regularly. A withdrew in the beginning of every month for the first 6 months of the year, B withdrew in the middle of every month for the first 6 months, and C withdrew at the end of every month for the first 6 months. Calculate the interest on drawings @ 6% p.a. for the year ended 31st March, 2025.
Total drawings of each partner = ₹10,000 × 6 = ₹60,000. Interest is charged up to 31st March, 2025.
A (beginning of month, first 6 months): average period = (12 + 7)/2 = 9.5 months → ₹60,000 × 6/100 × 9.5/12 = ₹2,850.
B (middle of month, first 6 months): average period = (11.5 + 6.5)/2 = 9 months → ₹60,000 × 6/100 × 9/12 = ₹2,700.
C (end of month, first 6 months): average period = (11 + 6)/2 = 8.5 months → ₹60,000 × 6/100 × 8.5/12 = ₹2,550.
