Preparation of Profit and Loss Appropriation Account
The Profit and Loss Appropriation Account outlines how the net profit is distributed among partners and other entitlements. Here’s how to prepare it for Asha and Lata based on the given data.
Net Profit for the Year
- Net Profit = 540,000
Salary and Commission Calculations
- Asha’s Salary: 200,000
- Asha’s Commission: 8% of net profit before commission
- Calculation: 8% of 540,000 = 43,200
- Lata’s Commission: 8% of net profit after Asha's salary and commission
- Net profit after Asha's salary = 540,000 - 200,000 = 340,000
- Calculation: 8% of 340,000 = 27,200
Total Appropriation
- Total Appropriation to Asha and Lata is calculated as follows:
- Asha's Total Entitlement = Salary + Commission
- = 200,000 + 43,200 = 243,200
- Lata's Total Entitlement = Commission
- = 27,200
Distribution of Net Profit
- Total Entitlements = Asha’s Total + Lata’s Total
- = 243,200 + 27,200 = 270,400
- Remaining Profit for Distribution:
- = Net Profit - Total Entitlements
- = 540,000 - 270,400 = 269,600
Final Profit Distribution
- Asha’s Share = (1/3) * Remaining Profit
- = 89,866.67 (approx.)
