Amir and salman are partner sharing profits and losses in equal ratio ...
Calculation of Interest on Capital:
- Amir's initial capital = 300000
- Salman's initial capital = 180000
- Total initial capital = 480000
- On July, they decide to keep equal capital, so each partner contributes (300000-180000)/2 = 60000
- New capital of Amir = 360000
- New capital of Salman = 240000
- Total capital = 600000
- Interest on capital @12% p.a. = (360000+240000)/2 * 12/100 = 72000
Journal Entry for Interest on Capital:
Interest on capital is an expense for the partnership firm, so it will be debited to the Profit and Loss Appropriation Account. At the same time, it is an income for the partners, so it will be credited to their respective capital accounts. The journal entry will be as follows:
Profit and Loss Appropriation Account Dr. 72000
Amir's Capital Account Cr. 36000
Salman's Capital Account Cr. 36000
Explanation:
Interest on capital is the amount paid by the partnership firm to the partners for the use of their capital. In this case, Amir and Salman have contributed their capital to the firm, and they are entitled to receive interest on their respective capital. The interest rate is decided by the partners and mentioned in the partnership deed. In this case, the rate is 12% p.a.
When the partners decide to keep equal capital, the existing capital is adjusted by bringing or withdrawing cash. In this case, Salman has to contribute 120000 to make his capital equal to Amir's capital. This will increase the total capital of the firm to 600000. The interest on capital is calculated on the average capital for the year, which is (360000+240000)/2 = 300000. The interest is an expense for the firm and an income for the partners, so it is credited to their respective capital accounts. The Profit and Loss Appropriation Account is debited with the same amount to transfer the expense to the profit and loss account.
