Question 6:

Sita and Geeta are partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 3 : 2. They had advanced to the firm a sum of  ` 30,000 as a loan in their profit-sharing ratio on 1st October, 2024. The Partnership Deed is silent on interest on loans from partners. Compute interest payable by the firm to the partners, assuming the firm closes its books every year on 31st March.

Answer:

Amount advanced by the Partners = ` 30,000

Profit sharing ratio = 3 : 2

Advanced by Sita =30,000×3/5=18,000

Advanced by Geeta =30,000×2/5=12,000

Time Period (from October 01, 2024 toMarch 31, 2024) = 6 months

Interest rate = 6% p.a.

Calculation of Interest on Advances

Interest on Sita' s advance=18,000×6/100×6/12=540

Interest on Geeta' s advance=12,000×6/100×6/12=360
