Given data:

  • Aman, Raman and Suman are partners in a firm sharing profits and losses equally.
  • Their capitals were Rs 20,000, Rs 40,000 and Rs 30,000 respectively.
  • Interest on capital was to be charged at 10% p.a., but was omitted.

Objective: To rectify the error.

Answer:

Calculation of interest on capitals:

Interest on capital = (Capital × Rate) ÷ 100

For Aman:

  • Interest on capital = (Rs 20,000 × 10) ÷ 100 = Rs 2,000

For Raman:

  • Interest on capital = (Rs 40,000 × 10) ÷ 100 = Rs 4,000

For Suman:

  • Interest on capital = (Rs 30,000 × 10) ÷ 100 = Rs 3,000

Interest on capital will be recorded on the credit side of the adjustment table if they were omitted.

Calculation of profit/losses:

To determine profit/loss, observe the firm's balancing figure. If the balancing figure appears on the debit side, it indicates profit. Else, loss.

Balancing figure = Rs 9,000 [Cr.]

Calculation of loss shares:

Since they share profits equally, they must be distributed accordingly, i.e., in the ratio 1:1:1.

For Aman:

  • Loss share = Rs 9,000 × 1/3 = Rs 3,000

For Raman:

  • Loss share = Rs 9,000 × 1/3 = Rs 3,000

For Suman:

  • Loss share = Rs 9,000 × 1/3 = Rs 3,000

Rectifying entry:

Aman's Current A/c ... Dr - Rs 1,000

  • To Raman's Current A/c - Rs 1,000

The Adjustment Table has been attached below.
