Working Note: –
*1 Calculation of Interest on P’s, Q’s, & R’s Capital
Interest on Capital = Opening Capital X Rate of Interest
| Interest on P’s Capital | = | 40,000 | X | 5 |
| 100 |
Interest on P’s Capital = 2,000/-
| Interest on Q’s Capital | = | 30,000 | X | 5 |
| 100 |
Interest on Q’s Capital = 1,500/-
| Interest on R’s Capital | = | 30,000 | X | 5 |
| 100 |
Interest on R’s Capital = 1,500 /-
*2: -Calculation of share of profit of P’s, Q’s, & R’s
Net Profit after interest & Salary = 16,000
Distribution of first Rs 10,000 in the Capital Ratio i.e. 50:30:20
Advertisement-X
| Profit share of P | = | 10,000 X 50/100 |
| Profit share of P | = | 5,000/- |
| Profit share of Q |
= | 10,000 X 30/100 |
| Profit share of Q | = | 3,000/- |
| Profit share of R | = | 10,000 X 20/100 |
| Profit share of R | = | 2,000/- |
Distribution of remaining profit in the ratio of 1:1:1
Remaining Profit available for distribution = Rs 16,000 − 10,000 = Rs 6,000
| Profit share of P | = | 6,000 X 1/3 |
| Profit share of P | = | 2,000/- |
| Profit share of Q |
= | 6,000 X 1/3 |
| Profit share of Q | = | 2,000/- |
| Profit share of R | = | 6,000 X 1/3 |
| Profit share of R | = | 2,000/- |
Total Profit share of P = 5,000 + 2,000 = Rs 7,000
Total Profit share of Q = 3,000 + 2,000 = Rs 5,000
Total Profit share of R = 2,000 + 2,000 = Rs 4,000
