💡 Quick Concept Summary

No Partnership Deed?
Indian Partnership Act 1932 applies. No IOC, no salary, no IOD. Loan interest = 6% p.a. fixed.
Interest on Capital (IOC)
Capital × Rate × Months/12. Debit side of P&L Appropriation A/c.
Partner's Salary
Only if deed allows. Debit side of P&L Appropriation A/c.
Commission - Before vs After
Before: Profit × Rate/100. After: Profit × Rate/(100+Rate).
Manager's Commission
Goes in P&L A/c (NOT Appropriation A/c). Reduces net profit before distribution.
General Reserve
Deducted from distributable profit in Appropriation A/c before sharing among partners.
Partner's Loan
Interest on partner's loan goes in P&L A/c (not Appropriation A/c).
Fixed vs Fluctuating Capital
Fixed: Capital A/c unchanged; all entries in Current A/c. Fluctuating: All entries in Capital A/c itself.

Numerical Questions and Solutions

Q1 X and Y are partners in a firm. They do not have any partnership deed. What should be done in the following cases?

X and Y are partners in a firm. They do not have any partnership deed. What should be done in the following cases:

  1. X has invested Rs. 10,00,000 and Y only Rs. 5,00,000 as capital. X wants interest on capital @ 8% p.a.
  2. X spend twice the time that Y devotes to the business. He wants a salary of Rs. 10,000 per month for the extra time spent by him.
  3. X wants to introduce his son Rajesh into the business for 25% share to be given out of his share of profit. Y object it.
  4. X has advanced a loan of Rs. 2,00,000 to the firm. He claim interest @ 9% p.a.
  5. Y withdraws Rs. 10,000 per month from the firm for his personal use. X claim that interest on drawings @ 12% p.a. be charged from Y.
✅ Sol. 1

(a) In the absence of partnership deed, No Interest on Capital will be allowed.

(b) In the absence of partnership deed, No salary provided to the partners. Hence X is not entitled to any salary.

(c) In the absence of partnership deed, X's son cannot be admitted as a partner if there is an objection from Y partner.

(d) In the absence of partnership deed, X is entitled to claim interest on loan @ 6% p.a. only.

(e) In the absence of partnership deed, Interest cannot be charged on drawings.

📌 Teacher's Note
When there is no partnership deed, the Indian Partnership Act 1932 governs all matters. The key rule to remember: only interest on partner's loan is allowed (@ 6% p.a.) - nothing else (no IOC, no salary, no IOD).

Always prepare accounts in order: Trading A/c first, then P&L A/c, then Appropriation A/c, and finally Balance Sheet. The net profit from Trading/P&L A/c flows into the Appropriation A/c, and closing capitals go into the Balance Sheet.
Q3 Girish and Satish are partners in a firm. Compute interest on capital for the year ending March 31, 2024 when capitals change mid-year.

Girish and Satish are partners in a firm. Their Capitals on April 1, 2023 were Rs. 5,60,000 and Rs. 4,75,000 respectively. On August 1, 2023 they decided that their capitals should be Rs. 5,00,000 each. The necessary adjustment in the capital were made by introducing or withdrawing cash. Interest on Capital is allowed at 6% p.a. You are required to compute interest on capital for the year ending March 31, 2024.

✅ Sol. 3

Calculation of Interest on Capital For Girish:-

Capital for 4 months = Rs. 5,60,000

Rate of interest = 6%

Interest on Capital = Rs. 5,60,000 × 6% × 4/12

Interest on Capital = Rs. 11,200


Capital for 8 months = Rs. 5,00,000

Rate of interest = 6%

Interest on Capital = Rs. 5,00,000 × 6% × 8/12

Interest on Capital = Rs. 20,000

Total Interest on Capital paid to Girish = Rs. 11,200 + Rs. 20,000

Total Interest on Capital paid to Girish = Rs. 31,200

Calculation of Interest on Capital For Satish:-

Capital for 4 months = Rs. 4,75,000

Rate of interest = 6%

Interest on Capital = Rs. 4,75,000 × 6% × 4/12

Interest on Capital = Rs. 9,500


Capital for 8 months = Rs. 5,00,000

Rate of interest = 6%

Interest on Capital = Rs. 5,00,000 × 6% × 8/12

Interest on Capital = Rs. 20,000

Total Interest on Capital paid to Satish = Rs. 9,500 + Rs. 20,000

Total Interest on Capital paid to Satish = Rs. 29,500

📌 Teacher's Note
Whenever capital changes during the year, split the IOC into two periods - before and after the change. Calculate each period separately and add them up. Period 1: April to July = 4 months. Period 2: August to March = 8 months.
Q4 (A) A and B are equal partners. Prepare P&L Appropriation A/c and Partners' Capital Accounts as at 31st March, 2026.

B's Profit = Rs. 1,35,000 × 1/2 = Rs. 67,500

📌 Teacher's Note
Note that B's IOC is calculated on Rs. 2,00,000 (his actual capital) but the question shows B = 6,00,000 × 6% = 12,000. This appears to be a typo in the original - B's IOC = 2,00,000 × 6% = Rs. 12,000 is the correct calculation.

📌 Teacher's Note
In fluctuating capital method, all entries (salary, IOC, IOD, drawings, profit share) are made directly in the Capital Account itself. There is no separate Current Account. This is the key difference from the Fixed Capital method.

📌 Teacher's Note
Fixed Capital method: Capital A/c shows only the capital - unchanged. All other entries (IOC, salary, profit share, drawings) go to Current Account. Fluctuating method: All entries are in the Capital Account itself - so the Capital A/c balance changes every year.

📝 Working Notes:-

(1) Interest on Mamta's Loan has been calculated at 6% p.a.

(2) Interest on Drawings has been calculated for an average period of 6 months.

(3) Distributable Profit = Total of Credit side - Debit Side

Total Credit Side = Rs. 2,25,000

Total of Debit side (Rs. 35,000 + Rs. 30,000) = Rs. 65,000

Rs. 2,25,000 - Rs. 65,000 = Rs. 1,60,000

General Reserve is 10% of Rs. 1,60,000 = Rs. 16,000

📌 Teacher's Note
Note the sequence: First, partner's loan interest goes to P&L A/c. Then, in Appropriation A/c, General Reserve is calculated on distributable profit (after IOC and salary) - not on net profit. This is a commonly tested distinction.

3. Calculation of Profit and Loss:-

Profit of transferred to Capital account = Rs. 4,30,000 - (Rs. 2,40,000 + Rs. 40,000)

Profit of transferred to Capital account = Rs. 1,50,000

Rukmani's Profit = Rs. 1,50,000 × 2/3 = Rs. 1,00,000

📌 Teacher's Note
The rent paid to Radha for her property is deducted from profit before it enters the Appropriation Account. Net profit for Appropriation A/c = 5,50,000 - 1,20,000 = Rs. 4,30,000. The rent is Radha's income as a landlord, not as a partner.

📝 Working Note:-

Calculation of Interest in Drawings:-

A = 30,000 × 12/100 × 6/12 = Rs. 1,800

B = 50,000 × 12/100 × 6/12 = Rs. 3,000

📌 Teacher's Note
When firm incurs a loss: Salary and IOC are NOT allowed. BUT Interest on Drawings (IOD) is still charged - it is income for the firm and reduces the net loss. Net loss to distribute = 60,000 - 4,800 (IOD) = Rs. 55,200, distributed in 1:2 ratio.
✗ Putting Manager's Commission in P&L Appropriation Account
Manager is not a partner - commission is a business expense in P&L A/c, reducing net profit before Appropriation A/c.
✗ Confusing commission before and after formulas
Before charging: Profit × Rate/100. After charging: Profit × Rate/(100+Rate). Never mix these up.
✗ Allowing IOC and salary when firm makes a loss
IOC and salary are NOT provided when firm incurs a loss (unless deed specifically states otherwise). IOD still applies.
✗ Putting partner's loan interest in Appropriation Account
Interest on partner's loan goes in P&L A/c (not Appropriation A/c) as it is a charge, not an appropriation.
✗ Putting rent paid to partner's property in Appropriation Account
Rent is a P&L A/c expense. The partner receives it as a property owner, not as a partner.
✗ Not splitting IOC when capital changes mid-year
Always calculate IOC separately for each period - before and after the change date.

Q21 Parul and Rajul (5:3) - Fixed capitals Rs. 6,00,000 and Rs. 8,00,000. IOC @ 12% when net profit is only Rs. 1,26,000.

Parul and Rajul were partners in a firm, sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 5: 3. The balance in their fixed capital accounts on 1st April, 2023 were: Parul Rs. 6,00,000 and Rajul Rs. 8,00,000. The partnership deed provided for allowing interest on capital at 12% per annum. The net profit of the firm for the year ended 31st March, 2024 was Rs. 1,26,000. Prepare Profit and Loss Appropriation Account for the year ended 31st March, 2024. Show your working clearly.

Total1,26,000Total1,26,000
📝 Working Note:-

Calculation of Interest on capital:-

A = 6,00,000 × 12/100 = Rs. 72,000

B = 8,00,000 × 12/100 = Rs. 96,000

Total = 72,000 + 96,000 = 1,68,000

It seems that total amount of appropriation is more than profit available. Hence, profit will be distributed in the appropriation ratio (Expenses Ratio) which is 3:4.

A = 1,26,000 × 3/7 = Rs. 54,000

B = 1,26,000 × 4/7 = Rs. 72,000

📌 Teacher's Note
When profit is insufficient to pay full IOC, the available profit is distributed in the ratio of their IOC entitlements (not profit-sharing ratio). Here IOC ratio = 72,000 : 96,000 = 3 : 4. No remaining profit is left to distribute in profit-sharing ratio.

Q27 (A) Gupta - Rs. 800 at beginning of every month for six months ending 31st March, 2024. IOD @ 15% p.a.

Gupta is a partner in a firm. He drew regularly Rs. 800 at the beginning of every month for the six months ending 31st March, 2024. Calculate interest on drawings at 15% p.a.

✅ Sol. 27 (A)

Gupta drew Rs. 800 at the beginning of every month for the six months ending 30th September, 2024. Hence, his drawings for the period of six months would be:

Period = 6 months + 1 months = 7 months

Average Period = 7 months/2 = 3.5 months

Total Drawings for the year = 800 × 4 = Rs. 4,800

📝 Calculation of Interest on Drawings:-

Interest on Drawings = Rs. 4,800 × 15/100 × 3.5/12

Interest on Drawings = Rs. 210

📝 Working Note:-

Average Period = Time left after first drawing + Time left after last drawing/2

Average Period = 6 months + 1 months/2

Average Period = 7 months/2

Average Period = 3.5 months

📌 Teacher's Note
For drawings for six months ending 31st March: first drawing is in October, last drawing is in March. Time left after first drawing (October) = 6 months. Time left after last drawing (March) = 0 months. But drawings at beginning so add 1 month. Average = (6+1)/2 = 3.5 months.
Q27 (B) Gupta - Rs. 800 at end of every month for six months ending 31st March, 2024. IOD @ 15% p.a.

Gupta is a partner in a firm. He drew regularly Rs. 800 at the end of every month for the six months ending 31st March, 2024. Calculate interest on drawings at 15% p.a.

✅ Sol. 27 (B)

Gupta withdraws Rs. 800 at the end of every month for the six months ending 30th September, 2024.

Total drawings = 6 x Rs. 800 = Rs. 4,800

(Time left after first drawing + Time left after last drawing)/2 = (5 + 0)/2 = 2.5 months.

Rs. 4,800 x 15/100 x 2.5/12 = Rs. 150

📌 Teacher's Note
For drawings at end of every month for six months ending March: first drawing is in October end, last is March end (0 months remaining). Average = (5 + 0)/2 = 2.5 months. Contrast with beginning: 3.5 months vs end: 2.5 months - a difference of exactly 1 month.

(i) Calculation of Interest on Drawings in the beginning of every month:-

Interest on Drawings = Interest on Drawings × Rate/100 × Average Period/12

Rs. 5,200 = x × 10/100 × 6.5/12

Rs. 5,200 = 65x/1,200

x = 5,200 × 1,200/65

x = Rs. 96,000

Total Drawings = Rs. 96,000

Monthly Drawings = Rs. 96,000/12

Monthly Drawings = Rs. 8,000

(ii) Calculation of Interest on Drawings in the end of every month:-

Interest on Drawings = Interest on Drawings × Rate/100 × Average Period/12

Rs. 6,600 = x × 10/100 × 5.5/12

Rs. 6,600 = 55x/1,200

x = 6,600 × 1,200/55

x = Rs. 1,44,000

Total Drawings = Rs. 1,44,000

Monthly Drawings = Rs. 1,44,000/12

Monthly Drawings = Rs. 12,000

📌 Teacher's Note
Reverse calculation: We know IOD and need to find drawings. Simply rearrange the formula: Total Drawings = IOD × 1200 / (Rate × Average Period). Then divide by 12 to get monthly drawings. This is frequently asked in exams.
Q31 Sneha - Find quarterly drawings given IOD of Rs. 3,750 (beginning) and Rs. 3,000 (end) @ 10%.

Sneha is a partner in a firm. Calculate the amount of Sneha's quarterly drawings for the year ended 31st March, 2026, in the following cases when interest is charged @ 10% p.a.

(i) When she withdrew a fixed amount in the beginning of each quarter and interest on drawings is Rs. 3,750.

(ii) When she withdrew a fixed amount at the end of each quarter and interest on drawings is Rs. 3,000.

✅ Sol. 31

(i) Calculation of Interest on Drawings in the beginning of each quarter:-

Interest on Drawings = Interest on Drawings × Rate/100 × Average Period/12

Rs. 3,750 = x × 10/100 × 7.5/12

Rs. 3,750 = 75x/1,200

x = 3,750 × 1,200/75

x = Rs. 60,000

Total Drawings = Rs. 60,000

Quarterly Drawings = Rs. 60,000/4

Quarterly Drawings = Rs. 15,000

(ii) Calculation of Interest on Drawings in the end of each quarter:-

Interest on Drawings = Interest on Drawings × Rate/100 × Average Period/12

Rs. 3,000 = x × 10/100 × 4.5/12

Rs. 3,000 = 45x/1,200

x = 3,000 × 1,200/45

x = Rs. 80,000

Total Drawings = Rs. 80,000

Quarterly Drawings = Rs. 80,000/4

Quarterly Drawings = Rs. 20,000

📌 Teacher's Note
Quarterly drawings reverse calculation follows the same formula as monthly. Key: use correct average period - beginning of quarter = 7.5 months, end of quarter = 4.5 months. Divide total drawings by 4 to get quarterly drawings.
Q32 Find rate of interest on drawings: (i) Anamika - monthly drawings; (ii) Shruti - quarterly drawings.

(i) Anamika and Monika are partners in a firm. Anamika withdrew Rs. 25,000 at the end of each month and interest on drawings was calculated Rs. 8,250 at the end of the year. What is the rate of interest on drawings?

(ii) Shruti and Gayatri are partners in a firm. Shruti withdrew Rs. 60,000 at the end of each quarter and interest on drawings was calculated Rs. 6,300 at the end of the year. What is the rate of interest on drawings?

✅ Sol. 32

(i)

Interest on Drawings = Rs. 8,250

Total Amount of Drawings = Rs. 25,000 × 12 = Rs. 3,00,000

Average Period = At the end of each months

Average Period = Time left after first drawing + Time left after last drawing/2

Average Period = 11 months + 0 months/2

Average Period = 11 months/2

Average Period = 5.5 months

Interest on Drawings = Interest on Drawings × Rate/100 × Average Period/12

Rs. 8,250 = Rs. 3,00,000 × x/100 × 5.5/12

Rs. 8,250 = 1375x

x = 8,250/1,375

x = 6

Rate of Interest = 6%

(i)

Interest on Drawings = Rs. 6,300

Total Amount of Drawings = Rs. 60,000 × 4 = Rs. 3,00,000

Average Period = Time left after first drawing + Time left after last drawing/2

Average Period = 9 months + 0 months/2

Average Period = 9 months/2

Average Period = 4.5 months

Interest on Drawings = Interest on Drawings × Rate/100 × Average Period/12

Rs. 6,300 = Rs. 2,40,000 × x/100 × 4.5/12

Rs. 6,300 = 900x

x = 6,300/900

x = 7%

Rate of Interest = 7%

📌 Teacher's Note
To find rate: Rate = (IOD × 1200) / (Total Drawings × Average Period). Rearrange the IOD formula to isolate the rate. Practice this type of reverse calculation as it tests conceptual understanding.
Q33 Partner A - Rs. 70,000 in middle of each half year. IOD = Rs. 8,400. Find rate of interest.

Partner A withdrew Rs. 70,000 in the middle of each half year. Calculate the rate of interest on drawings if the amount of interest charged at the end of the year was Rs. 8,400.

✅ Sol. 33

Interest on Drawings = Rs. 8,400

Total Amount of Drawings = Rs. 70,000 × 2 = Rs. 1,40,000

Average Period = in the middle of each half year

Average Period = Time left after first drawing + Time left after last drawing/2

Average Period = 9 months + 3 months/2

Average Period = 12 months/2

Average Period = 6 months

Interest on Drawings = Interest on Drawings × Rate/100 × Average Period/12

Rs. 8,400 = Rs. 1,40,000 × x/100 × 6/12

Rs. 8,400 = 700x

x = 8,400/700

x = 12

Rate of Interest = 12%

📌 Teacher's Note
Half-yearly drawings in the middle: First drawing is at mid-September (3 months from start April), leaving 9 months to March. Second drawing is mid-March, leaving 3 months... wait - it's mid of second half year so 3 months left. Average = (9+3)/2 = 6 months.
Q34 B - Fixed amount at beginning of every alternate month from 1st April, 2025. IOD = Rs. 4,725 @ 9% p.a. Find each drawing.

Ascertain the amount of each drawing made by B, during the year ending 31st March, 2026, if he withdrew a fixed amount at the beginning of every alternate month starting from 1st April, 2025. The interest on drawings was Rs. 4,725 charged @ 9% p.a.

✅ Sol. 34
📝 Working Note:- Calculation of Average Period:-

Average Period = Time left after first drawing + Time left after last drawing/2

Average Period = 12 months + 2 months/2

Average Period = 14 months/2

Average Period = 7 months

Calculation of Interest on Drawings in the beginning of every month:-

Interest on Drawings = Interest on Drawings × Rate/100 × Average Period/12

Rs. 4,725 = x × 9/100 × 7/12

Rs. 4,725 = 63x/1,200

x = 4,725 × 1,200/63

x = Rs. 90,000

Total Drawings = Rs. 90,000

Monthly Drawings = Rs. 90,000/6

Monthly Drawings = Rs. 15,000

📌 Teacher's Note
Alternate months from 1st April means: April, June, August, October, December, February = 6 drawings. First drawing April (12 months left), last drawing February (2 months left). Both at beginning so add 1 to each: Average = (12+2)/2 = 7 months.

Calculation of Profit:-

A = Rs. 9,00,000 × 2/6 = Rs. 3,00,000

B = Rs. 9,00,000 × 2/6 = Rs. 3,00,000

C = Rs. 9,00,000 × 1/6 = Rs. 1,50,000

D = Rs. 9,00,000 × 1/6 = Rs. 1,50,000

A's Salary = Rs. 15,000 × 12 = 1,80,000

B's Salary = Rs. 30,000 × 4 = 1,20,000

D's Salary = Rs. 30,000 × 4 = 1,20,000

Remaining Profit = Rs. 9,00,000 - Rs. 1,80,000 - Rs. 1,20,000 - Rs. 1,20,000

Remaining Profit = Rs. 4,80,000

Calculation of Profit after the adjustment of Salary:-

A = Rs. 4,80,000 × 2/6 = Rs. 1,60,000

B = Rs. 4,80,000 × 2/6 = Rs. 1,60,000

Calculation of Interest on Capital:-

A = Rs. 4,00,000 × 8% × 2 = Rs. 64,000

B = Rs. 6,00,000 × 8% × 2 = Rs. 96,000

C = Rs. 8,00,000 × 8% × 2 = Rs. 1,28,000

Total Expenses = Rs. 64,000 + Rs. 96,000 + Rs. 1,28,000 = Rs. 2,88,000

Interest on capital is the expense for the firm. Hence we should divide it in the given ratio.

A = Rs. 2,88,000 × 1/6 = Rs. 48,000

B = Rs. 2,88,000 × 2/6 = Rs. 96,000

📌 Teacher's Note
For multi-year omissions, multiply the annual IOC by number of years. B's net effect is nil because his IOC entitlement (Rs. 96,000) exactly equals his share of the loss (Rs. 96,000). So only A and C need adjustment.
Q44 Asha, Suman and Verka - IOC @ 8% omitted. Capitals Rs. 9,00,000; Rs. 7,00,000; Rs. 4,00,000. Profit Rs. 1,20,000 (insufficient for full IOC).

Asha, Suman and Verka were partners in a firm, their Capitals were Rs. 9,00,000, Rs. 7,00,000 and Rs. 4,00,000 respectively as on 1st April 2022. Net Profit for the year ended 31st March, 2023 was Rs. 1,20,000 which was distributed without providing for interest on capital @ 8% p.a. as per partnership deed. Pass necessary adjustment entry.

✅ Sol. 44
📝 Calculation of Interest on Capital:-

Asha = Rs. 9,00,000 × 8/100 = Rs. 72,000

Suman = Rs. 7,00,000 × 8/100 = Rs. 56,000

Verka = Rs. 4,00,000 × 8/100 = Rs. 32,000

Total amount of Interest on capital = 72,000 + 56,000 + 32,000 = 1,60,000, which is greater than appropriation. So, Profit will be distributed in the ratio of 72,000 : 56,000 : 32,000 or 9:7:4.

Total Available Profit = 1,20,000

Excess IOC given = Rs. 16,000 (savings for firm which was wrongly credited). This excess should have been shared in profit ratio 7:3 (as less expense = more profit). Jay got excess credit of 9,000 but should bear 11,200 of the saving = net credit to Jay. Vijay got 7,000 excess but should only bear 4,800 = net debit to Vijay.

Calculate interest on partner's capital @ 8% p.a. and interest on partner's drawings @ 10% p.a. for the year ended 31st March, 2024.

✅ Sol. 58

(i) Calculation of Interest on Drawings at the beginning of each half year:-

Interest on Drawings = Interest on Drawings × Rate/100 × Average Period/12

Interest on Drawings = Rs. 20,000 × 10/100 × 9/12

Interest on Drawings = Rs. 1,500

📝 Working Note:- Calculation of Average Period:-

Average Period = Time left after first drawing + Time left after last drawing/2

Average Period = 12 months + 6 months/2

Average Period = 18 months/2

Average Period = 9 months

(ii) Calculation of Interest on Drawings at the end of each half year:-

Interest on Drawings = Interest on Drawings × Rate/100 × Average Period/12

Interest on Drawings = Rs. 20,000 × 10/100 × 3/12

Interest on Drawings = Rs. 500

📝 Working Note:- Calculation of Average Period:-

Average Period = Time left after first drawing + Time left after last drawing/2

Average Period = 6 months + 0 months/2

Average Period = 6 months/2

Average Period = 3 months

(iii) Calculation of C's Interest on Drawings:-

Interest on Drawings = Interest on Drawings × Rate/100 × Average Period/12

Interest on Drawings = Rs. 1,08,000 × 10/100 × 1/12

Interest on Drawings = Rs. 900

📌 Teacher's Note
This question tests three different IOD calculation methods together. A = average period formula (beginning of half year = 9 months). B = average period formula (end of half year = 3 months). C = product method (specific dates). Always identify which method to use from the drawing pattern.

A's Share of Profit = Rs. 90,000 × 3/6 = Rs. 45,000

B's Share of Profit = Rs. 90,000 × 2/6 = Rs. 30,000

C's Share of Profit = Rs. 90,000 × 1/6 = Rs. 15,000

C's share Rs. 15,000 > guaranteed Rs. 10,000. No deficiency. Distribute normally.

📌 Teacher's Note
Guarantee works only when actual share is less than guaranteed amount. In 2025, guarantee applies (C gets 5,000 less than guaranteed). In 2026, no guarantee needed (C gets 15,000 which exceeds 10,000). Only check if guarantee is needed year by year.
Q65 (B) X, Y and Z (3:2:1) - IOC @ 8%. Z guaranteed minimum Rs. 50,000. Deficiency borne by X. Net profit Rs. 2,52,000. Capital Accounts.

X, Y and Z are partners with capitals of Rs. 4,00,000; Rs. 3,00,000 and Rs. 2,00,000 respectively. They charge 8% p.a. interest on their capitals and divide the profits in the ratio of 3:2:1. X has guaranteed that Z's share shall not amount to less than Rs. 50,000 in any one year. Their Drawings during the year were Rs. 50,000; Rs. 40,000 and Rs. 35,000 respectively. Net profits for the year before providing interest on capitals was Rs. 2,52,000. Prepare P & L Appropriation A/c and Capital Accounts.

Calculation of Interest on capital:-

X's Interest on capital = Rs. 4,00,000 × 8% = Rs. 32,000

Y's Interest on capital = Rs. 3,00,000 × 8% = Rs. 24,000

Z's Interest on capital = Rs. 2,00,000 × 8% = Rs. 16,000

Calculation of Share of Profit in 2025:-

X's Share of Profit = Rs. 1,80,000 × 3/6 = Rs. 90,000 - Rs. 20,000 = Rs. 70,000

Y's Share of Profit = Rs. 1,80,000 × 2/6 = Rs. 60,000

Z's Share of Profit = Rs. 1,80,000 × 1/6 = Rs. 30,000 + Rs. 20,000 = Rs. 50,000

📌 Teacher's Note
Z's normal share = 30,000. Guaranteed = 50,000. Deficiency = Rs. 20,000 borne by X. X's final share = 90,000 - 20,000 = Rs. 70,000. Z's final share = 30,000 + 20,000 = Rs. 50,000. Y is unaffected by the guarantee.
Q66 Vidhi, Manas and Ansh (2:3:5) - Ansh guaranteed Rs. 1,20,000. Deficiency borne equally by Vidhi and Manas. Profit Rs. 2,00,000.

Vidhi, Manas and Ansh were partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 2:3:5. Ansh was given a guarantee that his share of profits in any given year would not be less than Rs. 1,20,000. Deficiency, if any, would be borne by Vidhi and Manas equally. Profit for the year ended 31st March, 2024 amounted Rs. 2,00,000.

📝 Working Note:-

Calculation of Interest on Drawings:-

A's Interest on Drawings = Rs. 60,000 × 5.5/12 × 10/100 = Rs. 2,750

B's Interest on Drawings = Rs. 60,000 × 4.5/12 × 10/100 = Rs. 2,250

C's Interest on Drawings = Rs. 60,000 × 6/12 × 10/100 = Rs. 3,000

Calculation of Profit:-

Net Profit = 4,32,000 + 8,000 - Rs. 80,000 = Rs. 3,60,000

A's Share of Profit = Rs. 3,60,000 × 3/6 = Rs. 1,80,000 - Rs. 40,000 = Rs. 1,20,000

B's Share of Profit = Rs. 3,60,000 × 2/6 = Rs. 1,20,000

C's Share of Profit = Rs. 3,60,000 × 1/6 = Rs. 60,000 + Rs. 40,000 = Rs. 1,00,000

C's deficiency = Rs. 1,00,000 - Rs. 60,000 = Rs. 40,000. Deficiency will be contributed by A.

📌 Teacher's Note
IOD averages: A (end of month) = 5.5 months. B (end of quarter) = 4.5 months. C (during year) = 6 months. Distributable profit = 4,32,000 + 8,000 (IOD) - 80,000 (IOC) = 3,60,000. C gets 60,000 normally, needs 1,00,000 (guarantee), deficiency 40,000 borne by A.

Divisible Profit = Rs. 8,00,000 - Rs. 2,60,000 - Rs. 90,000 = Rs. 4,50,000

Yamini's Profit = Rs. 4,50,000 × 3/6 = Rs. 2,25,000 - 25,000 = 2,00,000

Divyanshi's Profit = Rs. 4,50,000 × 2/6 = Rs. 1,50,000 - 20,000 = 1,30,000

Rohini's Profit = Rs. 4,50,000 × 1/6 = Rs. 75,000 + 45,000 = 1,20,000

Guarantee of minimum profit to Rohini = Rs. 1,20,000

Deficiency = 1,20,000 - 75,000 = 45,000

Deficiency in Rohini's share contributed by Yamini and Divyanshi in 5:4.

Yamini = Rs. 45,000 × 5/9 = 25,000

Devyanshi = Rs. 45,000 × 4/9 = 20,000

📌 Teacher's Note
Complex question combining: salary, commission, guaranteed profit, wrong distribution. Step 1: Find divisible profit. Step 2: Distribute in correct ratio with guarantee. Step 3: Compare correct vs wrong distribution. Only Yamini and Divyanshi are affected (Rohini's correct = wrong = 2,00,000).

Y's Share of Loss = Rs. 90,000 × 3/5 = Rs. 30,000

Z's guaranteed minimum profit of Rs. 1,00,000. Total loss of Z = Rs. 1,00,000 + Rs. 30,000 = Rs. 1,30,000. Which is distributed by X and Y in the ratio of 3:2.

📌 Teacher's Note
Guarantee + Loss scenario: Z guaranteed Rs. 1,00,000 profit but got Rs. 30,000 loss. Total to make good to Z = 1,00,000 + 30,000 = Rs. 1,30,000. X pays 3/5 × 1,30,000 = Rs. 78,000. Y pays 2/5 × 1,30,000 = Rs. 52,000. The guarantors must cover both the profit guarantee AND reverse Z's share of loss.

📌 Teacher's Note
Profit "after charging Tulsi's salary" = Rs. 2,28,000. This means salary (72,000) has already been deducted. So profit before salary = 2,28,000 + 72,000 = Rs. 3,00,000. Manager's commission = 3,00,000 × 10% = Rs. 30,000. Net profit to Appropriation A/c = 3,00,000 - 30,000 = Rs. 2,70,000. Salary shown again in Appropriation A/c.
Q79 A and B - A's commission 10% before any commission; B's commission 10% after all commissions. Net profit Rs. 55,000. Find commissions.

A and B are partners in a firm. A is to get a commission of 10% of net profit before charging any commission. B is to get a commission of 10% on net profit after charging all commissions. Net profit before charging any commission was Rs. 55,000. Find out the commission of A and B.

✅ Sol. 79
📝 Calculation of Commission:-

Before charging such commission

A's Commission = Rs. 55,000 × 10/100 = Rs. 5,500

After charging A's commission and his commission

Rs. 55,000 - Rs. 5,500 = Rs. 49,500

B's Commission = Rs. 49,500 × 10/110 = Rs. 4,500

📌 Teacher's Note
A's commission is "before any commission" so apply directly: 55,000 × 10% = Rs. 5,500. For B's commission "after all commissions" means after both A's and B's commissions are deducted. Profit after A = 55,000 - 5,500 = 49,500. B's commission = 49,500 × 10/110 = Rs. 4,500. Verify: 49,500 - 4,500 = 45,000 (profit after all commissions).

Q87 Seema and Tina - Reverse: Find monthly/quarterly drawings given IOD amounts @ 10% p.a.

Seema and Tina are partners in a firm. Interest on drawings is charged @ 10% p.a. You are required to calculate the amount of drawings of each partner in the following cases:

(i) Seema withdrew a fixed amount in the beginning of each month and interest on drawings is Rs. 3,900.

(ii) Tina withdrew a fixed amount in the beginning of each quarter and interest on drawings is Rs. 6,000.

✅ Sol. 87

Case 1. Calculation of Monthly Drawing of Seema:-

Average Period = time left after first drawing + time left after last drawing/2

Average Period = 12 + 1/2

Average Period = 13/2

Average Period = 6.5 Months

Interest on drawings = Total Drawings × Rate × Average Period/12

3,900 = Total Drawings × 10% × 6.5/12

3,900 = Total Drawings × 10/100 × 6.5/12

Total Drawings = 3,900 × 100 × 12/(10 × 6.5)

Total Drawings = Rs. 72,000

Monthly Drawings = 72,000/12

Monthly Drawings = Rs. 6,000

Case 2. Calculation of Monthly Drawing of Tina:-

Average Period = time left after first drawing + time left after last drawing/2

Average Period = 12 + 3/2

Average Period = 15/2

Average Period = 7.5 Months

Interest on drawings = Total Drawings × Rate × Average Period/12

6,000 = Total Drawings × 10% × 7.5/12

6,000 = Total Drawings × 10/100 × 7.5/12

Total Drawings = 6,000 × 100 × 12/(10 × 7.5)

Total Drawings = Rs. 96,000

Quarterly Drawings = 72,000/4

Quarterly Drawings = Rs. 24,000

📌 Teacher's Note
Reverse formula: Total Drawings = IOD × 1200/(Rate × Average Period). For Seema: 3,900 × 1200/(10 × 6.5) = Rs. 72,000. Monthly = 72,000/12 = Rs. 6,000. For Tina: 6,000 × 1200/(10 × 7.5) = Rs. 96,000. Quarterly = 96,000/4 = Rs. 24,000.

Era, a partner withdrew Rs. 40,000 per month for her personal use from the firm in the beginning of each month. Interest on her drawings was calculated at Rs. 31,200 at the end of the year. Calculate the rate of interest on her drawings.

✅ Sol. 88

Calculation of Rate of Interest of drawings:-

Average Period = time left after first drawing + time left after last drawing/2

Average Period = 12 + 1/2

Average Period = 13/2

Average Period = 6.5 Months

Interest on drawings = Total Drawings × Rate × Average Period/12

31,200 = 4,80,000 × 12% × 6.5/12

31,200 = 4,80,000 × Rate/100 × 6.5/12

Rate = 31,200 × 100 × 12/(4,80,000 × 6.5)

Rate = 12% p.a.

📌 Teacher's Note
Rate = (IOD × 1200)/(Total Drawings × Average Period) = (31,200 × 1200)/(4,80,000 × 6.5) = 3,74,40,000/31,20,000 = 12%. Total drawings = 40,000 × 12 = Rs. 4,80,000.
Q89 Suruchi and Sonia - Find rate of interest in two cases: quarterly beginning and quarterly end.

Calculate the rate of interest on drawings in the following cases:

(i) Charu and Suruchi are partners in a firm. Suruchi withdrew Rs. 12,000 in the beginning of each quarter and interest on drawings was calculated at Rs. 2,700 at the end of the year.

(ii) Yamini and Sonia are partners in a firm. Sonia withdrew Rs. 12,000 at the end of each quarter and interest on drawings was calculated at Rs. 1,440 at the end of the year.

✅ Sol. 89

Case 1:- Calculation of Monthly Drawing of Suruchi:-

Average Period = time left after first drawing + time left after last drawing/2

Average Period = 12 + 3/2

Average Period = 15/2

Average Period = 7.5 Months

Interest on drawings = Total Drawings × Rate × Average Period/12

2,700 = 48,000 × Rate/12 × 7.5/12

2,700 = 48,000 × Rate/100 × 7.5/12

Rate of Interest = 2,700 × 100 × 12/(48,000 × 7.5)

Rate of Interest = 9% p.a.

Case 2:- Calculation of Monthly Drawing of Sonia:-

Average Period = time left after first drawing + time left after last drawing/2

Average Period = 9 + 0/2

Average Period = 9/2

Average Period = 4.5 Months

Interest on drawings = Total Drawings × Rate × Average Period/12

1,440 = 48,000 × Rate/12 × 4.5/12

1,440 = 48,000 × Rate/100 × 7.5/12

Rate of Interest = 1,440 × 100 × 12/(48,000 × 4.5)

Rate of Interest = 8% p.a.

📌 Teacher's Note
Total drawings for both = 12,000 × 4 = Rs. 48,000. Suruchi (beginning of quarter): average = 7.5 months. Rate = 2,700 × 1200/(48,000 × 7.5) = 9%. Sonia (end of quarter): average = 4.5 months. Rate = 1,440 × 1200/(48,000 × 4.5) = 8%.
Q90 X, Y and Z - IOC @ 12%, profit Rs. 60,000 (insufficient). Two cases: (i) silent on IOC treatment (ii) IOC even if loss.

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

✗ Allowing IOC, salary or IOD when there is no partnership deed
Indian Partnership Act 1932 applies - no IOC, no salary, no IOD. Only loan interest @ 6% p.a. is allowed.
