Question 2:

Following differences have arisen among P, Q and R. State who is correct in each case:
(a) P used ₹ 20,000 belonging to the firm and made a profit of ₹ 5,000. Q and R want the amount to be given to the firm?
(b) Q used ₹ 5,000 belonging to the firm and suffered a loss of ₹ 1000. He wants the firm to bear the loss?
(c) P and Q want to purchase goods from A Ltd., R does not agree?
(d) Q and R want to admit C as partner, P does not agree?

Answer:

(a) P is bound to pay Rs 20,000 together with profit of Rs 5,000 to the firm because this amount belongs to the firm.

Explanation: As per Principal and Agent relationship, P is principal as well as agent to the firm and to Q and R. As per this rule, any profit earned by an agent (P) by using the firm’s property is attributable to the firm.

(b) Q is liable to pay Rs 5,000 to the firm. As per the Partnership Act, 1932, every partner of a partnership firm is liable to the firm for any loss caused by his/her willful negligence.

Explanation: Here Q is solely responsible for the loss of Rs 1,000 because he used the property of the firm and also represented himself as a principal rather than an agent to the other partners and to the firm.

(c) P and Q may buy goods from A Ltd.

Explanation: As per Partnership Act, 1932, a partner has a right to buy and sell goods without consulting the other partners unless a Public Notice has been given by the partnership firm to restrict the partners to buy and sell.

(d) C will not be admitted because one of the partners P has not agreed to admit C.

Working Notes:

WN 1 Calculation of Commission

Commission to X = 10% of Net Profit after partners’ salaries but before charging such commission

Profit after Partners’ Salaries = 4,20,000 − 1,45,000 = Rs 2,75,000

Commission to Y = 10% of Net Profit after charging Commission and Partners’ Salaries

Profit after commission and partners’ salaries = 4,20,000 − 1,45,000 − 27,500 = Rs 2,47,500

WN 2 Calculation of Profit Share of each Partner

Question 37:

Following is the extract of the Balance Sheet of Neelkant and Mahadev as on 31st March, 2018.

BALANCE SHEET as at 31st March, 2018
Liabilities	₹	Assets***	₹***
Neelkant's Capital	10,00,000	Sundry Assets	30,00,000
Mahadev's Capital	10,00,000

profit and Loss Appropriation A/c (March 2018)	8,00,000
	30,00,000		30,00,000

During the year, Mahadev's drawings were ₹ 30,000. Profits during the year ended 31st March, 2018 is ₹ 10,00,000. Calculate interest on capital @ 5% p.a. for the year ending 31st March, 2018.

Answer:

Interest on Capital

Neelkant’s	$10, 00, 000 \times \frac{5}{100} = 50, 000$
Mahadev’s	$10, 00, 000 \times \frac{5}{100} = 50, 000$

Note: In this question, as the balances of both Partner's Capital Account and of Partner's Current Account are mentioned, so it has been assumed that the capital of the partners is fixed.

As we know, when the capital of the partners is fixed, drawings and interest on capital does not affect the capital balances of the partners. Rather, it would affect their current account balances. Therefore, in this case, capital at the beginning (i.e. opening capital) and capital at the end (i.e. closing capital) of the year would remain same. Thus, the interest on capital is calculated on fixed capital balances (given in the Balance Sheet of the question).

Question 38:

From the following Balance Sheet of Long and Short, calculate interst on capital @ 8% p.a. for the year ended 31st March, 2018.

BALANCE SHEET as at 31st March, 2018

Short's Capital A/c	1,40,000	Other Assets	60,000
General Reserve	1,00,000
	3,60,000		3,60,000

During the year, Long withdrew ₹ 40,000 and Short withdrew ₹ 50,000. Profit for the year was ₹ 1,50,000 out of which ₹ 1,00,000 was transferred to General Reserve.

Answer:

Calculation of Capital at the beginning (as on April 01, 2017)

Particulars	Long	Short
Capital at the end	1,60,000	1,40,000
Less: Adjusted Profit (1,50,000 – 1,00,000) in 1:1 ratio	(25,000)	(25,000)

Question 39:

X and Y contribute ₹ 20,000 and ₹ 10,000 respectively towards capital. They decide to allow interest on capital @ 6% p.a. Their respective share of profits is 2 : 3 and the net profit for the year is ₹ 1,500. Show distribution of profits:
(i) where there is no agreement except for interest on capitals; and
(ii) where there is an agreement that the interest on capital as a charge.

Answer:

Calculation of Interest on Capital

Case (a)

Where there is no clean agreement except for interest on capitals

Profit for the year ended = Rs 1,500

Total amount of interest = Rs 1,800

Here, total amount of interest on capital is more than the profit available for distribution. Therefore, profit of Rs 1,500 is distributed between X and Y in the ratio of their interest on capital.

Particulars	X	:	Y
Interest on Capital	1,200	:	600
or, Ratio of interest on Capital	2	:	1

Case (b)

In case, there is a clear agreement that the interest on capital will be allowed even if the firm has incurred loss, then the whole amount of interest on capital is to be allowed to the partners.

Total Profit of the firm = Rs 1,500

Total amount of Interest on Capital = Rs 1,800 (i.e. Rs 1,200 + Rs 600). Therefore, loss to the firm amounts to Rs 300. This loss is to shared by X and Y in their profit sharing ratio that is 2 : 3.

Question 40:

The necessary adjustments in capitals were made by introducing or withdrawing by cheque. Interest on capital is allowed @ 8% p.a. Compute interest on capital for the year ended 31st March, 2018.

Answer:

Calculation of Interest on A’s Capital

Date	Capital	×	Period	=	Product
April 01, 2016 to Sept. 30, 2017	15,00,000	×	6	=	90,00,000

On 31st March, 2018 after closing the books of account, their Capital Accounts stood at ₹ 4,80,000 and ₹ 6,00,000 respectively. On 1st May, 2017, X introduced an additional capital of ₹ 1,20,000 and Y withdrew ₹ 60,000 form his capital.On 1st October, 2017, X withdrew ₹ 2,40,000 from his capital and Y introduced ₹ 3,00,000 . Interest on capital is allowed at 6% p.a. Subsequently, it was discovered that interest on capital @ 6% p.a. had been omitted. The profits for the year ended 31st March, 2018 amounted to ₹ 2,40,000 and the partners' drawings had been: X–₹1,20,000 and Y–₹ 60,000. Compute the interest on capital if the capitals are (a) fixed, and (b) fluctuating.

Answer:

Case 1: If Capitals are fixed:

Calculation of Interest on Capital

$\begin{array}{l} Interest on Capital \\ X = \frac{6, 00, 000 \times 6 \times 1}{100 \times 12} + \frac{7, 20, 000 \times 6 \times 5}{100 \times 12} + \frac{4, 80, 000 \times 6 \times 6}{100 \times 12} = Rs 35,400 \\ Y = \frac{3, 60, 000 \times 6 \times 1}{100 \times 12} + \frac{3, 00, 000 \times 6 \times 5}{100 \times 12} + \frac{6, 00, 000 \times 6 \times 6}{100 \times 12} = Rs 27,300 \end{array}$

Working Notes:

WN 1 Calculation of Interest on Capital

$Interest on C' s Capital = 1, 00, 000 \times \frac{6}{100} = 6, 000 Interest on D' s Capital = 60, 000 \times \frac{6}{100} = 3, 600$

WN 2 Calculation of Profit Share of each Partner

Profit available for distribution = 80,000 − 9,600 − 36,000 = Rs 34,400
$Profit share of C and D each = 34, 400 \times \frac{1}{2} = 17, 200$
Total amount received by C = Interest on Capital + Profit Share = 6,000 + 17,200 = Rs 23,200

Total amount received by D = Interest on Capital + Salary + Profit Share = 3,600 + 36,000 + 17,200 = Rs 56,800

WN 3 Calculation of Amount to be transferred to Reserve

Amount for Reserve = 10% of Divisible Profit

Divisible Profit = Profit + Interest on Drawings − Interest on Capital
