Profit transferred to:			Profit and Loss A/c	2,25,000

		2,25000		2,25000

Working Notes:

WN 1Calculation of Remuneration to C as a Manager

Salary to C = ` 27,000

Commission to C = 10% of Net Profit after Salary and Commission

Net Profit after Salary and Commission = 2,25,000- 27,000 = ` 1,98,000

C’s commission = 1,98,000×10/110=18,000

C’s remuneration as Manager = Salary + Commission = 27,000 + 18,000 = ` 45,000

WN 2Calculation of Profit Share of C as a Partner

Profit = ` 2,25,000

C’s profit share = 2,25,000×1/4=56,250

Part of C’s Profit Share to be borne by A = 56,250 -` 45,000 = ` 11,250

Profit available for distribution between A and B = 2,25,000 45,000 = ` 1,80,000

A’s profit share = 1,80,000×3/5=1,08,000

C’s profit share = 1,80,000×2/5=72,000

A’s Profit share after adjusting C’s deficiency = 1,08,000-` 11,250 = ` 96,750

Particulars		`	Particulars	`
Interest on Capital to:			Profit and Loss A/c (Net Profit)	4,24,000
Asgar’s Capital A/c	48,000
Chaman’s Capital A/c	40,000
Dholu’s Capital A/c	32,000	1,20,000
Salary to Chaman (` 7,000 × 12)		84,000
Salary to Dholu (` 10,000 × 4)		40,000
Profit transferred to:
Asgar’s Capital A/c	70,000
Chaman’s Capital A/c	40,000
Dholu’s Capital A/c	70,000	1,80,000
		4,24,000		4,24,000

Working Notes:

Profit available for distribution =  4,24,000 – (1,20,000 + 84,000+ 40,000) = `1,80,000
Profit sharing ratio = 4 : 2 : 3

Asgar’s profit share = 1,80,000×4/9=80,000

Chaman’s profit share = 1,80,000×2/9=40,000

Dhalu’s profit share = 1,80,000×3/9=60,000

Dholu’s Minimum Guaranteed Profit = ` 1,10,000 (excluding interest on capital, but including salary)
Dholu’s Minimum Guaranteed Profit (excluding salary) = 1,10,000 – 40,000 = ` 70,000
But, Dholu’s Actual Profit Share = `60,000
Deficiency in Dholu’s Profit Share = 70,000 – 60,000 = 10,000
This deficiency is to be borne by Asgar alone.
Therefore,
Asgar’s New Profit Share =  80,000 – 10,000 = ` 70,000

Prepare Profit and Loss Appropriation Account for the year ended 31st March, 2024.

Answer:

Profit and Loss Appropriation Account for the year ended March 31, 2024
Dr.				Cr.
Particulars		`	Particulars	`
Interest on Capital to:			Profit and Loss A/c	9,50,000
Ankur’s Capital A/c	84,000		(Net Profit)
Bhavna’s Capital A/c	36,000
Disha’s Capital A/c	24,000	1,44,000
Salary to Bhavna		50,000
Commission to Disha (` 3,000 × 12)		36,000
Profit transferred to:
Ankur’s Capital A/c	4,14,000
Bhavna’s Capital A/c	1,80,000
Disha’s Capital A/c	1,26,000	7,20,000
		9,50,000		9,50,000

Working Notes:

Profit available for distribution =  9,50,000 – (1,44,000 + 50,000 + 36,000) = ` 7,20,000
Profit sharing ratio = 7 : 3 : 2

Ankur’s profit share = 7,20,000×7/12=4,20,000

Bhavna’s profit share = 7,20,000×3/12=1,80,000

Disha’s profit share = 7,20,000×1/12=1,20,000

Bhavna’s Minimum Guaranteed Profit = ` 1,70,000 (excluding interest on capital)
But, Bhavna’s Actual Profit Share = `1,80,000
This implies that there is no deficiency in Bhavna’s profit share as her actual profit share (i.e. ` 1,80,000) exceeds his minimum guaranteed profit share (i.e. ` 1,70,000).
 
Disha’s Minimum Guaranteed Profit = ` 1,50,000 (including interest on capital but excluding salary)
Disha’s Minimum Guaranteed Profit (excluding interest) = 1,50,000 – 24,000 = ` 1,26,000
But, Disha’s Actual Profit Share = 1,20,000
Deficiency in Disha’s Profit Share = 1,26,000 – 1,20,000 = 6,000
This deficiency is to be borne by Ankur alone.
Therefore,
Ankur’s New Profit Share =  4,20,000 – 6,000 = ` 4,14,000
