Working Notes:

WN1: Calculation of Interest on Capital

Interest on Jay' s Capital=80,000×9/100=7,200

Interest on Vijay' s Capital=50,000×9/100=4,500

Total interest = 7,200+4,500 =11,700

 

WN2: Calculation of Proportionate Interest on Capital

Jay' s proportion of interest =7,800×7,200/11,700=4,800

Vijay's proportion of interest =7,800×4,500/11,700=3,000

Note: Interest on capital is to be treated as an appropriation of profits and is to be provided to the extent of available profits i.e. ` 7,800.
