Hey Aryan, good to see you again. Here's the solution for the partnership accounting problem. Step 1: Calculate appropriations Interest on Capital: A's Interest on Capital = ₹50,000 × (6)/(100) = ₹3,000 B's Interest on Capital = ₹30,000 × (6)/(100) = ₹1,800 A's Commission: A's Commission = ₹3,00,000 × (2)/(100) = ₹6,000 B's Salary: B's Salary = ₹500 × 12 = ₹6,000 B's Commission: Profit before B's commission (after other appropriations) = Net Profit - Interest on Capital - A's Commission - B's Salary Profit before B's commission = ₹50,000 - ₹(3,000 + 1,800) - ₹6,000 - ₹6,000 Profit before B's commission = ₹50,000 - ₹4,800 - ₹6,000 - ₹6,000 = ₹33,200 B's Commission (after charging such commission) = ₹33,200 × (5)/(100+5) = ₹33,200 × (5)/(105) = ₹1,580.95 ≈ ₹1,581 Step 2: Prepare Profit and Loss Appropriation Account l r r 3cProfit and Loss Appropriation Account \\ 3cFor the year ended 31st March, 2015 \\ Particulars & Amount (₹) & Amount (₹) \\ To Interest on Capital: & & \\ A & 3,000 & \\ B & 1,800 & 4,800 \\ To A's Commission & & 6,000 \\ To B's Salary & & 6,000 \\ To B's Commission & & 1,581 \\ To Partners' Capital A/cs (Divisible Profit): & & \\ A & 23,714 & \\ B & 7,905 & 31,619 \\ Total & & 50,000 \\ l r r 3c \\ Particulars & Amount (₹) & Amount (₹) \\ By Net Profit (as per P&L A/c) & & 50,000 \\ & & \\ & & \\ & & \\ & & \\ & & \\ & & \\ & & \\ Total & & 50,000 \\ Step 3: Calculate Divisible Profit and distribute it Total appropriations = ₹4,800 + ₹6,000 + ₹6,000 + ₹1,581 = ₹18,381 Divisible Profit = Net Profit - Total appropriations Divisible Profit = ₹50,000 - ₹18,381 = ₹31,619 Profit sharing ratio is 3:1.
