Show Hint
- rupee 12,000 and rupee 16,000 respectively.
- rupee 10,500 and rupee 10,500 respectively.
- rupee 9,000 and rupee 12,000 respectively.
- rupee 16,000 and rupee 5,000 respectively.
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
The fixed capitals of Ridhima and Kavita are rupee 1,50,000 and rupee 2,00,000 respectively.
The partnership deed allows interest on capital at 8\% p.a. \[ \text{Interest on capital for Ridhima} = rupee 1,50,000 \times \frac{8}{100} = rupee 12,000 \] \[ \text{Interest on capital for Kavita} = rupee 2,00,000 \times \frac{8}{100} = rupee 16,000 \]
However, the net profit of the firm is rupee 21,000, which is insufficient to fully pay the interest on capital (rupee 28,000).
Hence, the available profit is distributed in the ratio of interest entitlements: \[ \text{Ratio of interest entitlement} = rupee 12,000 : rupee 16,000 = 3 : 4 \] \[ \text{Adjusted interest for Ridhima} = rupee 21,000 \times \frac{3}{7} = rupee 9,000 \] \[ \text{Adjusted interest for Kavita} = rupee 21,000 \times \frac{4}{7} = rupee 12,000 \]
