Working notes:
1. Computation of interest on drawings of partners
Drawings of Sonu = 20,000
Drawings of Rajat = 12 * 5,000 = 60,000
Interest on Sonu’s drawings = 20,000 * 6/100 * 4/12 = 400
Interest on Rajat’s drawings = 60,000 * 6/100 * 5.5/12 = 1,650
2. Computation of divisible profit and its distribution between partners
Profit as per the Profit and Loss account = 4,89,950
Divisible profit = Net Profit + Interest on Drawings – Interest on Capital – Salary of Sonu – Commission to Rajat
Divisible profit = 4,89,950 + 2,050 -1,12,000 – 2,40,000 – 1,00,000 = 40,000
Sonu’s share in divisible profit = 40,000 * 3/5 = 24,000
Rajat’s share in divisible profit = 40,000 * 2/5 = 16,000
