(a) Piyush withdrew in the beginning of the month;

(b) Harmesh withdrew in the middle of the month; and

(c) Atul withdrew at the end of the month.

Interest on drawings charged for the year ended 31st March, 2025 was 15,600, 14,400 and 13,200 respectively.

Determine the rate of interest charged on drawings.

(a) Calculation of the rate of interest charged on drawings made by Piyush in the beginning of the month

Rate of interest on drawing assumed = x

15600 = 240000 × x / 100 × 6.5 / 12

15600= 200 × x × 6.5

15600= 1300×x

x = 15600/1300 = 12%

(b) Calculation of the rate of interest charged on drawings made by Harmesh in the middle of the month

Rate of interest on drawing assumed = x

14,400 = 240000 × x / 100 × 6 / 12

14,400 = 200 × x × 6

14,400 = 1200×x

x = 14,400/1200 = 12%

(a) Calculation of the rate of interest charged on drawings made by Atul at the end of the month

Rate of interest on drawing assumed = x

13,200 = 240000 × x / 100 × 5.5 / 12

13,200= 200 × x × 5.5

13,200= 1,100×x

x = 13,200/1,100 = 12%

Working Notes:

WN 1 Calculation of Interest on Capital

Interest on A’s capital=5,00,000×6/100=30,000

Interest on B’s capital=3,00,000×6/100=18,000

 

WN 2 Calculation of Commission to Partners

A’s commission = 2% on turnover

=30,00,000×2/100=60,000

Commission to B = 5% on Profits after all Expense including such Commission

Profits after all expense = 5,00,000 -` 48,000 -` 60,000 -` 60,000 = ` 3,32,000

B’s commission= Profit after all expenses × Rate of commission/100+Rate

3,32,000×5/105=15,810 (approx.)

 

WN 3 Calculation of Profit Share of each Partner

Profit available for Distribution = 5,00,000 -` 48,000 -` 60,000 -` 60,000 -`15,810 = ` 3,16,190

Profit sharing ratio = 3 : 1

A’s profit share= 3,16,190×3/4=2,37,143

B’s profit share= 3,16,190×1/4=79,057

WN 1Calculation of Interest on Capital

Interest on A’s capital=50,000×10/100=5,000

Interest on B’s capital=50,000×10/100=5,000

Interest on C’s capital=1,00,000×10/100=10,000

 

WN 2Calculation of Profit Share of each Partner

Profits available for Distribution = 1,72,000-` 20,000-` 12,000= ` 1,40,000

1. Distribution of first ` 20,000 in the Capital Ratio i.e. 1:1:2

A’s profit share=20,000×1/4=5,000

B’s profit share=20,000×1/4=5,000

C’s profit share=20,000×2/4=10,000

2. Distribution of Next ` 30,000 in the ratio of 5:3:2

A’s profit share=30,000×5/10=15,000

B’s profit share=30,000×3/10=9,000

C’s profit share=30,000×2/10=6,000

3. Remaining Profit available for distribution = ` 1,40,000-` 20,000 -` 30,000 = ` 90,000

This profit of ` 90,000 is to be shared equally by the partners.

Profir Share of  A,B,C each =90,000×1/3=30,000

Therefore,

Total Profit Share of A = 5,000 + 15,000 + 30,000 = ` 50,000

Total Profit Share of B = 5,000 + 9,000 + 30,000 = ` 44,000

Total Profit Share of C = 10,000 + 6,000 + 30,000 = ` 46,000
