Answers
Given:
Contribution of Moli = Rs 20,000
Contribution of Bholi = Rs 10,000
Interest on capital @ 6% pa
Share of profit = 2:3
Profit for the year = Rs 1,500
To find:
(i) where there is no agreement except for interest on capitals and
(ii) where there is an agreement that the interest on capital is a charge.
Solution:
Interest on the capital of Moli = 20,000 × 6 / 100 = Rs 1,200
Interest on the capital of Bholi = 10,000 × 6 / 100 = Rs 600
Total interest = 1,200 + 600 = Rs 1,800
Profit for the year = Rs 1,500
i) where there is no agreement except for interest on capitals
Interest on capital = 1200:600 = 2:1
Share of Moli = 1500 × 2 / 3 = Rs 1000
Share of Bholi = 1500 × 1 / 3 = Rs 500
ii) where there is an agreement that the interest on capital is a charge.
Total interest = Rs 1,800
Total profit = Rs 1,500
Loss = 1,800 - 1,500 = Rs 300
Share of loss of Moli = 300 × 2 / 5 = Rs 120
Share of loss of Bholi = 300 × 3 / 5 = Rs 180
