Show Hint
Solution and Explanation
The firm started on 1st October 2024 and the year ends on 31st March 2025.
So the firm worked for only 6 months in this year.
Interest on capital and the guarantee to Sameer must both be taken for 6 months.
The guarantee of Rs. 1,50,000 is per annum, so for 6 months it is Rs. 1,50,000 x 6/12 = Rs. 75,000.
Step 2: Working Note 1: Interest on capital:
Interest = Capital x 5/100 x 6/12.
Rohit: Rs. 12,00,000 x 5/100 x 6/12 = Rs. 30,000.
Ashish: Rs. 6,00,000 x 5/100 x 6/12 = Rs. 15,000.
Sameer: Rs. 6,00,000 x 5/100 x 6/12 = Rs. 15,000.
Total interest on capital = Rs. 60,000.
Step 3: Working Note 2: Profit left to divide:
Profit of the year = Rs. 5,60,000.
Less interest on capital = Rs. 60,000.
Profit to share in 3:1:1 = Rs. 5,00,000.
Rohit gets 3/5 = Rs. 3,00,000. Ashish gets 1/5 = Rs. 1,00,000. Sameer gets 1/5 = Rs. 1,00,000.
Step 4: Working Note 3: Test the guarantee:
The guarantee is checked on the share of profit after charging interest on capital.
Sameer gets Rs. 1,00,000 as share of profit. The guaranteed amount for 6 months is Rs. 75,000.
His share is more than the guaranteed amount, so there is no deficiency.
Rohit does not have to bear anything. If we wrongly used the full year figure of Rs. 1,50,000, we would show a deficiency of Rs. 50,000, which is not correct.
Step 5: Prepare the Profit and Loss Appropriation Account:
Books of Rohit, Ashish and Sameer. Profit and Loss Appropriation Account for the year ended 31st March 2025.
| Dr. Particulars | Amount (Rs.) | Cr. Particulars | Amount (Rs.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| To Interest on Capital: | By Profit and Loss A/c (Net Profit) | 5,60,000 | |
| Rohit 30,000 | |||
| Ashish 15,000 | |||
| Sameer 15,000 | 60,000 | ||
| To Profit transferred to Capital A/cs: | |||
| Rohit 3,00,000 | |||
| Ashish 1,00,000 | |||
| Sameer 1,00,000 | 5,00,000 | ||
| Total | 5,60,000 | Total | 5,60,000 |
Final Answer:
The account shows interest on capital of Rs. 60,000 and profit of Rs. 5,00,000 shared as Rs. 3,00,000, Rs. 1,00,000 and Rs. 1,00,000. No guarantee adjustment is needed.
