*2 Calculation of Actual Amount of Interest on A’s, B’s, Capital
Interest on Capital = Opening Capital X Rate of Interest
| Interest on A’s Capital | = | 3,28,000 | X | 5 |
| 100 |
Interest on A’s Capital = 16,400/-
| Interest on B’s Capital | = | 2,56,000 | X | 5 |
| 100 |
Interest on B’s Capital = 12,800/-
*3 Calculation of interest on A’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 Drawing X Rate of Interest X Period/12 Months
Rate of Interest = 5%
Period = the period/time will be calculated with the help of following formula: –
| Period | = | Time left after 1st withdrawal +Time left after Last withdrawal | ||
| 2 | ||||
Withdrawal at the end of each quarter = 12,000
It means 1st withdrawal has made on 30/06/2019
So, Time left from 30/06/2019 to 31/03/2020
are 9 Months
And last withdrawal has made on 31/03/2020
So, Time left from 31/03/2020 to 31/03/2020
are 0 Month and 0 day
Now, put this time period in the formula
Advertisement-X
| Period | = | 9 | + | 0 |
| 2 | ||||
| Period | = | 9 | ||
| 2 | ||||
Period = 4.5
| Total Drawing | = | 12,000 x 4 | = | 48,000 | Multiplied by 4 because the number of the quarter in the year is 4. |
| Interest on Drawing | = | 48,000 | X | 5 | X | 4.5 |
| 100 | 12 |
Interest on Drawing = 900/-
*4 Calculation of interest on B’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 Drawing X Rate of Interest X Period/12 Months
Rate of Interest = 5%
Period = the period/time will be calculated with the help of following formula: –
| Period | = | Time left after 1st withdrawal + Time left after Last withdrawal | ||
| 2 | ||||
B drew at the end of each half-year = 18,000
It means 1st withdrawal has made on 30/09/2019
So, Time left from 30/09/2019 to 31/03/2020
are 6 Months
And last withdrawal has made on 31/03/2020
So, Time left from 31/03/2020 to 31/03/2020
are 0 Month and 0 day
Now, put this time period in the formula
| Period | = | 6 | + | 0 |
| 2 | ||||
| Period | = | 6 | ||
| 2 | ||||

Period = 3
| Total Drawing | = | 18,000 x 3 | = | 54,000 |
| Interest on Drawing | = | 54,000 | X | 5 | X | 6 |
| 100 | 12 |
Interest on Drawing = 450/-
