Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Interest on Capital
Jain:
Capital before withdrawal = ₹15,00,000
Withdrawal on 1st July = ₹1,00,000
Capital from 1st April to 30th June (3 months) = ₹15,00,000
Capital from 1st July to 31st March (9 months) = ₹14,00,000
Interest = \( (15,00,000 \times 10% \times \frac{3}{12}) + (14,00,000 \times 10% \times \frac{9}{12}) \)
⇒ ₹37,500 + ₹1,05,000 = ₹1,42,500
Gupta:
Original capital = ₹12,00,000
Additional capital on 1st July = ₹2,00,000
Interest = \( (12,00,000 \times 10% \times \frac{12}{12}) + (2,00,000 \times 10% \times \frac{9}{12}) \)
⇒ ₹1,20,000 + ₹15,000 = ₹1,35,000
Step 2: Interest on Drawings
Drawings of Jain = ₹50,000
Assumed withdrawn evenly → interest for 6 months
Interest = \( 50,000 \times 18% \times \frac{6}{12} = ₹4,500 \)
Drawings of Gupta = ₹60,000
Interest = \( 60,000 \times 18% \times \frac{6}{12} = ₹5,400 \)
Step 3: Profit Share (already given)
Jain = ₹72,000
Gupta = ₹48,000
Step 4: Prepare Current Accounts
