A, B and C are partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ra...
**Profit and Loss Appropriation Account**
1. **Calculation of C's guaranteed minimum amount:**
- Ratio of profit sharing: A:B:C = 5:4:1.
- Total guaranteed minimum amount for C = Rs. 24,000.
- Let the total profit be x.
- C's share of profit = (1/10) * x.
- C's guaranteed minimum amount = Rs. 24,000.
Therefore, (1/10) * x = Rs. 24,000.
Solving for x, we get x = Rs. 2,40,000.
2. **Calculation of C's actual share of profit:**
- C's share of profit = (1/10) * x = (1/10) * 2,40,000 = Rs. 24,000.
Since C's guaranteed minimum amount is equal to his actual share of profit, there is no excess profit to be shared between A and B.
3. **Calculation of profit share for A and B:**
- Total profit = Rs. 2,00,000.
- C's actual share of profit = Rs. 24,000.
- Excess profit = Total profit - C's actual share of profit = Rs. 2,00,000 - Rs. 24,000 = Rs. 1,76,000.
Ratio of sharing the excess profit between A and B = 4:1.
- A's share of excess profit = (4/5) * Rs. 1,76,000 = Rs. 1,40,800.
- B's share of excess profit = (1/5) * Rs. 1,76,000 = Rs. 35,200.
