The solution of Question 29 Chapter 2 of +2 Part-1: –
Calculation of interest on partner’s Drawings
If partners withdrawal the same amount of drawing on a regular basis then we can calculate the interest on drawing with help of following formula: –
Interest on Drawing = Total Drawings X Rate of Interest X Period/12 Months
Rate of Interest = 10%
Period = the period/time will be calculated with the help of following formula: –
| Period | = | Time left after 1st withdrawal | + | Time left after Last withdrawal |

1. Calculation of interest on Muthu’s Drawings:
A’s withdrawal at the beginning of every month = 2,000 p.m. Therefore, total drawings of the year= Rs.24,000.
It means 1st withdrawal has made on 01-04-2016
So, Time left from 1-4-2016 to 1-3-17 is 12 Months
And last withdrawal has made on 1-3-2017
So, Time left from 1-3-2017 to 31-3-2017 is 1 month.
Now, put this time period in the formula
| Period | = | 12 | + | 1 |
| 2 | ||||
| Period | = | 13 | ||
| 2 | ||||
| Period | = | 6.5 |
Total Drawings = 24,000
| Interest on Drawing | = | 24,000 | X | 10 | X | 6.5 |
| 100 | 12 | |||||
| Interest on Drawing | = | 1300/- |
2. Drawings in the middle of every month
A’s withdrawal at the middle of every month = 2,000 p.m. Therefore, total drawings of the year= Rs.24,000.
It means 1st withdrawal has made on 15-04-2016
So, Time left from 15-4-2016 to 1-3-17 is 11 months and 15 days. = 11.5 months
And last withdrawal has made on 15-3-2017
So, Time left from 15-3-2017 to 31-3-2017 is 15 days = 0.5 month
Now, put this time period in the formula:
| Period | = | 11.5 | + | 0.5 |
| 2 | ||||
| Period | = | 12 | ||
| 2 | ||||
| Period | = | 6 |
Total Drawings = 24,000
| Interest on Drawing | = | 24,000 | X | 6 | X | 6 |
| 100 | 12 | |||||
| Interest on Drawing | = | 1200/- |
3. Drawings at the end of every month
A’s withdrawal at the end of every month = 2,000 p.m. Therefore, total drawings of the year= Rs.24,000.
It means 1st withdrawal has made on 31-04-2016
So, Time left from 31-4-2016 to 31-3-17 in 11 Months
And last withdrawal has made on 1-3-2017
So, Time left from 31-3-2017 to 31-3-2017 is 0 months.
| Period | = | 11.5 | + | 0 |
| 2 | ||||
| Period | = | 11 | ||
| 2 | ||||
| Period | = | 5 |
| Interest on Drawing | = | 24,000 | X | 6 | X | 5.5 |
| 100 | 12 | |||||
| Interest on Drawing | = | 1,100/- |
