Dear Student,

Answer 1)
Assumption: As the fees earned by Y is not given clearly, it is assumed as Rs 32,000.
So, as Y did not earn the guaranteed fees, firstly Y's Capital A/c would be debited for balance amount & then the total profit would be distributed among partners.

Net Profit during the year is Rs 1,68,000 (1,50,000+18,000).
X's share = Rs 84,000
Y's share = Rs 56,000
Z's share =Rs 28,000 (less than guaranteed amount of Rs. 30,000)

So,  deficiency of Rs. 2,000 would be borne by X and Y in 3:2.

X's final share: 84,000- (2000 cross times 3 over 5)= 84000-1200 = Rs 82,800
Y's final share: 56,000- (2000 cross times 2 over 5) = 56,000-800 = Rs 55,200
Z's final share : 28,000+1200+800 = Rs 30,000

Answer 4 b) The partners decided to change profit sharing ratio to 1:1:1, but their capital contribution was not equal & so they provided the provision of providing interest on capital@10%.So, the value shown here is equality.
