A and B are partners sharing profits equally. A drew regularly  ₹ 4,000 at the end of every month for six months ended 30th September, 2025. Calculate interest on drawings @ 5% p.a. for a period of six months ended 30th September,2025.

Answer:

Average month = time lift after first drawing + time lift after last drawing ÷2

                            = 5+0÷2 = 2.5

Interest on drawing= total drawing × Rate of drawing/100×Average month / 12

                            =24,000×5/100×2.5/12 = 250

 

 

B and C are partners sharing profits equally. C regularly withdrew 5,000 per month in the beginning of the month for si× months ended 30th September, 2025. Calculate interest on drawings @ 12% p.a. for the year ended 31st March, 2026.

Answer:

Monthly drawing = 5,000

Total drawing = 30,000

 

Interest on drawing= 30000×12× 9.5/100×12= 2,850

Calculate interest on drawings of Ashok @ 10% p.a. for the year ended 31st March, 2026, in each of the following alternative cases:
Case 1.  If he withdrew  ₹ 7,500 in the beginning of each quarter.
Case 2.  If he withdrew  ₹ 7,500 at the end of each quarter.
Case 3.  If he withdrew  ₹ 7,500 during the middle of each quarter.

Answer:

Total Drawings = 7,500 × 4 = ₹ 30,000

Interest Rate = 10% p.a.

Case (a)

When equal amount is withdrawn in the beginning of each quarter, the interest on drawings is calculated for an average period of 7.5 months

Interest on drawing= total drawing×Rate of drawing/100×Average month / 12

Interest on Ashok’s drawing =30,000×10/100×7.5/12  =1,875

Case (b)

When equal amount is withdrawn at the end of each quarter, the interest on drawings is calculated for an average period of 4.5 months

Interest on drawing= total drawing×Rate of drawing/100×Average month / 12

Interest on Ashok’s drawing =30,000×10/100×4.5/12 =1,125

Case (c) 

When equal amount is withdrawn in the middle of each quarter, the interest on drawings is calculated for an average period of 6 months

Interest on drawing= total drawing×Rate of drawing/100×Average month / 12

Interest on Ashok’s drawing =30,000×10/100×6/12  =1,500

Calculate interest on partners' capitals@ 10% p.a. and interest on partners' drawings@ 6% p.a. for the year ended 31st March, 2026.

 

Answer:

Calculation of Interest on Drawings

Tisha’s Total Drawings= 25,000×4=1,00,000

Tisha’s Interest on Drawings= 1,00,000×3/100×4.5/12=2,250

 

Divya’s Interest on Drawings

Date of Drawings	Drawings	Time left after Drawing	Product
31-5-2025	20,000	10	2,00,000
1-11-2025	17,500	5	87,500
1-2-2026	12,500	2	25,000
			3,12,500

 

Divya’s Interest on Drawings = 3,12,500×6/10×1/12=1,563

 

Calculation of Interest on Capital

 

Calculation of opening Capital

		Tisha	Divya
Closing Capital Add; Drawings	10,00,000 1,00,000		7,50,000 50,000
Less: Profit	11,00,000 2,50,000		8,00,000 2,50,000
Opening Capital	8,50,000		5,50,000

 

Tisha’s Interest on Capital= 8,50,000×10/100=85,000

Divya’s Interest on Capital= 5,50,000×10/100=55,000

 

 

Answer:

Total drawing of each partner = 10,000 × 6 = 60,000

1. A's interest on drawing

60,000×6×9.5 /100×12 = 2,850

Average month 12 + 7 / 2= 9.5

2. B's interest on drawing

60,000×6×9 /100×12 = 2,700

Average month = 11.5 + 6.5/ 2= 9

3. C's interest on drawing

60,000×6×8.5 /100×12 = 2,550

Average month = 11 + 6/ 2= 8.5
