Total |
| Actual Amount of Interest on Capital @12% p.a. *1 | 1,500 | 1,000 | 500 | 3,000 |
| Add: – Salary (500 X 12months) | – | 6,000 | – | 6,000 |
| Add: – Commission *2 | – | – | 1,350 | 1,350 |
| Actual Amount to be credited | 1,500 | 7,000 | 1,850 | 10,350 |
| Less: wrongly Amount credited in Profit sharing ratio i.e. 3:2:1 | 5,175 | 3,450 | 1,725 | 10,350 |
| – 3,675 | 3,550 | 125 | – | |
|
A get less amount, so we have to credit his capital a/c with difference amount |
B get extra so we have to debit his capital a/c with difference amount

*1 Calculation of Actual Amount of Interest on A’s, B’s, & C’s Capital
Interest on Capital = Opening Capital X Rate of Interest
| Interest on A’s Capital | = | 30,000 | X | 5 |
| 100 |
Interest on A’s Capital = 1,500/-
| Interest on B’s Capital | = | 20,000 | X | 5 |
| 100 |
Interest on B’s Capital = 1,000/-
| Interest on C’s Capital | = | 10,000 | X | 5 |
| 100 |
Interest on C’s Capital = 500/-
*2 Calculation of Commission to C
| Commission to C | = | 5% on Net Profits after Interest on Capital |
| Net Profit after Interest on Capital | = | 30,000 – 3,000 = 27,000 |
| Commission to C | = | Net Profit | X | Rate |
| 100 |
| Interest on C’s Capital | = | 27,000 | X | 5 |
| 100 |
Commission to C = 1,350/-
