Journal Entry in the books of A & B
Explanation:
Working note:
1) Interest on Capital is an expense of the firm thus it will be debited and there is an increase in liability as to the A and B account increase thus it will be credited.
Interest to be given @12%
( A= 12% of 60,000)
(B = 12% of 80,000)
2) Profit for the year before interest on capital = 12,600
Interest on capital= 16,800
Thus loss for the year after charging interest on capital =
Interest on capital - profit = 16,800 - 12,600 = 4,200
The Loss will be divided to A and B in the ratio of 5:3
Thus A(5/8 of 4,200)
B(3/8 of 4,200)
