Particulars | 2012-13 |
2013-14 | 2014-15 | 2015-16 |
Total |
Profit/Loss for the year | 5,90,000 | 6,26,000 | (-) 40,000 | 7,80,000 | 19,56,000 |
Add: Z’s Salary Add: Interest on Z’s loan |
90,000 | 90,000 | 90,000 | 90,000 | 3,60,000 |
Add: Drawings During the year | 18,000 | 18,000 | 18,000 | 18,000 | 72,000 |
Profit before Z’s Salary and Interest on Z’s Loan | 6,98,000 | 7,34,000 | 68,000 | 8,88,000 | 23,88,000 |

Interest on Capital = Opening Capital X Rate of Interest
Interest on Z’s Capital | = | 2,00,000 | X | 5 |
100 |
Interest on Z’s Capital = 12,000/- per year
Interest on Z’s Capital for 4 year | = | 12,000 X 4 |
= | 48,000/- |
*3 Calculation of Z’s Share of Profit as a Partner
Profit after Interest on Z’s Capital | = | Profit before Interest on Z’s Capital l − Interest on Z’s Capital |
= | 23,88,000 – 48,000 | |
Profit after Interest on Z’s Capital | = | 23,40,000/- |
Z’s Profit Share as a Partner for 4 years
Interest on Z’s Capital for 4 year | = | 23,40,000X | 1 | ||
6 | |||||
= | 3,90,000/- |
Z’s Share of Interest on Capital and Profit Share as a Partner
= | 48,000 +3,90,000 | |
= | 4,38,000/- |
Z’s Salary and Interest on Loan as Manager
Advertisement-X
= | 72,000+3,60,000 | |
= | 4,32,000/- |
Adjustment of Z’s share of Profit | = | Z’s Share as a Partner | + | Z’s share as Manager |
= | 4,38,000 | + | 4, 32, 000 | |
= | 6,000/- |
Profit to be transferred by X and Y in favour of Z
X’s Capital | = | 6,000 | X | 3 | = | 3,600/- |
