Working Note:
*1: -Calculation of Total Interest on Ashish’s Capital, and Aakash’s Capital
| In the Question there closing capital is given. So, we have to calculate opening capital balance as shown below: – |
||
| Particulars |
Amount | Amount |
| Capital Balance at the end of the year | 3,00,000 | 3,00,000 |
| Add: – drawing during the year against Capital | 50,000 | |
| Add: – Drawing during the year against the profit | 1,00,000 | 1,00,000 |
| Capital Balance at the beginning of the year | 4,50,000 | 4,00,000 |
Note: – In this case, the partners introduced and withdrawal their capital during the year, so that’s why we have to calculate the interest on capital according to period.
Interest on Capital = Capital X Rate of Interest X Period
Naresh’s Capital
from the 01/04/2019 to 30/09/2019= 4,50,000
During the year he withdrawal capital of Rs. 50,000, So his Total capital will be 4,00,000 (4,50,000-50,000)
from the 01/10/2019 to 31/03/2020= 4,00,000
Rate of Interest = 10%
So, we have to calculate the depreciation of two periods of 6 months each as shown follows
= (4,50,000 X 10/100 X 6/12) + (4,00,000 X 10/100 X 6/12)
= 22,500 + 20,000
Total Interest on Naresh’s Capital = 42,500/-
Sukesh’s Capital = 4,00,000
= 4,00,000 X 10/100
Total Interest on Sukesh’s Capital = 40,000/-
*2: -Calculation of share of profit of Naresh’s and Sukesh’s
Profit Sharing Ratio = 1:1 (assumed as per provision of act Because ration is not given)
Net Profit after interest= 1,17,500
= 1,17,500 X 1/2
Profit share of Naresh’s = 58,750/-
= 1,17,500 X 1/2
Profit share of Sukesh’s = 58,750 /-
