Working Notes:
WN 1 Calculation of Managers’ Commission
1. Managers’ Commission = 5% on Net Profit (before Salary)
Profit before Salary = Profit after Salary + Salary = 12,500 + 2500 = Rs 15,000
WN 2 Calculation of Interest on Capital
WN 3 Calculation of Profit Share of each Partner
Profit available for distribution = 12,500 − 750 − 3,000 − 1,800 = Rs 6,950
Profit sharing ratio = 3 : 2
