Working Note: –
*1 Calculation of Interest on Anita’s, Bimla’s, & Cherry’s Capital
Interest on Capital = Opening Capital X Rate of Interest
| Interest on Anita’s Capital | = | 1,00,000 | X | 5 |
| 100 |
Interest on Anita’s Capital = 5,000/-
| Interest on Bimla’s Capital | = | 2,00,000 | X | 5 |
| 100 |
Interest on Bimla’s Capital = 10,000/-
| Interest on Cherry’s Capital | = | 3,00,000 | X | 5 |
| 100 |
Interest on Cherry’s Capital = 15,000 /-
*2 Calculation of Commission to Bimla
Advertisement-X
| Commission to Bimla | = | 5% on Net Profits after Commission |
| Net Profit | = | 50,000 |
| Amount of Reserve | = | Net Profit | X | Rate |
| 100 + Rate |
| Amount of Reserve | = | 50,000 | X | 5 |
| 100+5 |
Amount of Reserve = 23,810/-
*3 Calculation of Amount to be transferred to General Reserve
| Amount for Reserve | = | 10% of Divisible Profit |
| Divisible Profit | = | Profit – Interest on Capital – Partners’ Salary – Partners’ Commission |
| = | 5,00,000 – 30,000 – 60,000 – 23,810 = Rs 3,86,190 |
| Amount of Reserve | = | 3,86,190 | X | 10 |
| 100 |
Amount of Reserve = 38,619/-
*4: -Calculation of share of profit of Amit’s, Binita’s, & Charu’s
Net Profit after interest & Salary = 3,47,571
Distribution of remaining profit in the ratio of 1:1:1
| Profit share of Anita | = | 3,47,571 X 1/3 |
| Profit share of Anita | = | 1,15,857/- |
| Profit share of Bimla | = | 3,47,571 X 1/3 |
| Profit share of Bimla | = | 1,15,857/- |
| Profit share of Cherry | = | 3,47,571 X 1/3 |
| Profit share of Cherry | = | 1,15,857/- |
