Dear Student,
Calculation of Opening Capital:

 Particulars X Y Capital at the end 10,00,000 7,50,000 Less: Profit already credited 3,00,000 2,00,000 Add: Drawings already debited 1,20,000 90,000 Capital at the beginning 8,20,000 6,40,000

 Statement Showing Adjustment Particulars X Y Amount should be credited: Interest on capital 41,000 32,000 Interest on drawings (2,250) (1,125) Amount of profit(5,00,000-41,000-32,000+2,250+1,125) Rs.4,30,375 2,58,225 1,72,150 Amount should be credited 2,96,975 2,03,025 Amount wrongly credited 3,00,000 2,00,000 Net Effect (3,025) 3,025

Calculation of interest on drawings:
$X=1,20,000×\frac{5}{100}×\frac{4.5}{12}=Rs.2,250\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}Y=45,000×\frac{5}{100}×\frac{6}{12}=Rs.1,125$
