Question 75: X and Y are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3 : 2. They employed Z as their Manager to whom they paid a salary of ₹ 7,500 per month. Z had deposited ₹ 2,00,000 on which interest was payable ₹ 9% p.a. At the end off the accounting year (i.e., 31st March, 2018) 2017-18 (after division of the year's profits), it was decided that Z should be treated as a partner with effect from 1st April, 2014 with 1/6th share of profits, his deposit being considered as capital carrying interest @ 6% p.a. like capitals of other partners. The firm's profits and losses after allowing interest on capitals were – 2014-15:
Profit ₹ 5,90,000; 2015-16: Profit ₹ 6,26,000; 2016-17: Loss ₹ 40,000 and 2017-18: Profit ₹ 7,80,000.
Record necessary Journal entries to give effect to the above.
ANSWER:

Working Notes:

WN 1 Profit before Z’s Salary and Interest on Loan.

WN 2 Calculation of Interest on Capital

Interest on Z’s Capital for 4 years = 12,000 × 4 = Rs 48,000

WN 3 Calculation of Z’s Share of Profit as a Partner

Profit after Interest on Z’s Capital = Profit before Interest on Z’s Capital − Interest on Z’s Capital

= 23,88,000 − 48,000 = Rs 23,40,000

Z’s Profit Share as a Partner for 4 years

∴ Z’s Share of Interest on Capital and Profit Share as a Partner = 48,000 + 3,90,000 = Rs 4,38,000
Z’s Salary and Interest on Loan as Manager = 72,000 + 3,60,000 = Rs 4,32,000

Question 76: A and B are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 2 : 1. They admitted C, their manager, as a partner form 1st April, 2018, for 1/5th share of profit C, while being manager, was getting salary of ₹ 50,000 p.a. plus commission of 10% of net profit after charging such salary and commission. It was also agreed that any excess amount which C receives as a partner (over his salary and commission) will be borne by A. Profit for the year ended 31st March, 2019 was ₹ 6,44,000, before payment of salary and commission. Prepare Profit and Loss Appropriation Account.
ANSWER:

Working Notes:

WN 1 Calculation of Remuneration to C as a Manager

Salary to C = Rs 50,000

Commission to C = 10% of Net Profit after Salary and Commission

Net Profit after Salary and Commission = 6,44,000 − 50,000 = Rs 5,94,000

C’s remuneration as Manager = Salary + Commission = 50,000 + 54,000 = Rs 1,04,000
WN 2 Calculation of Profit Share of C as a Partner
Profit = Rs 6,44,000

Part of C’s Profit Share to be borne by A = 1,28,800 − 1,04,000 = Rs 24,800

Profit available for distribution between A and B = 6,44,000 − 1,04,000 = Rs 5,40,000

A’s Profit share after adjusting C’s deficiency = 3,60,000 − 24,800 = Rs 3,35,200

Page No 2.94:

Question 77: A, B and C were in partnership sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 4 : 2 : 1. It was provided that C's share in profit for a year would not be less then ₹ 7,500. Profit for the year ended 31st March, 2019 amounted to ₹ 31,500. You are required to show the appropriation among the partners. The profit and Loss Appropriation Account is not required.
ANSWER:

Working Notes:

Profit for the year = Rs 31,500

Profit sharing ratio = 4 : 2 : 1

C is given a guarantee of minimum profit of Rs 7,500

C’s Actual Profit Share (i.e. Rs 4,500) is less than his Minimum Guaranteed Profit (i.e. Rs 7,500)
∴ Deficiency in C’s Profit Share = 7,500 − 4,500 = Rs 3,000

This deficiency is to be borne by A and B in their profit sharing ratio i.e. 4 : 2

Therefore,

Final Profit Share of A = 18,000 − 2,000 = Rs 16,000

Final Profit Share of B = 9,000 − 1,000 = Rs 8,000
Final Profit Share of C = 4,500 + 3,000 = Rs 7,500

Question 78: A and B are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 3 : 2. C was admitted for 1/6th share of profit with a minimum guaranteed amount of ₹ 10,000. At the close of the first financial year the firm earned a profit of ₹ 54,000. Find out the share of profit which A, B and C will get.

ANSWER:

Working Note

C will get higher of the two:

(ii) Minimum guaranteed profit, i.e. Rs 10,000

Thus from net profit of Rs 54,000, minimum guaranteed profit to C of Rs 10,000 is to be adjusted first.

And the balance profit of Rs 44,000 (54,000 – 10,000) is to be shared by A and B in the ratio 3:2

Question 79: X, Y and Z entered into partnership on 1st October, 2018 to share profits in the ratio of 4 : 3 : 3. X, personally guaranteed that Z's share of profit after charging interest on capital @ 10% p.a. would not be less then ₹ 80,000 in any year. Capital contributions were: X – ₹ 3,00,000, Y – ₹ 2,00,000 and Z – ₹ 1,50,000.
Profit for the year ended 31st March, 2019 was ₹ 1,60,000. Prepare Profit and Loss Appropriation Account.

ANSWER:

Note: Since Z is admitted on 1st October, 2018 and Profit is ascertained on March 31, 2019, therefore, interest on capital is calculated for 6 months and guaranteed amount is considered as Rs 40,000 (half of the total amount).

Question 80: A, B and C are partners in a firm. Their profit-sharing ratio is 2 : 2 : 1. C is guaranteed a minimum of ₹ 10,000 as share of profit every year. Any deficiency arising on that amount shall be met by B. The profits for the two years ended 31st March, 2018 and 2019 were ₹ 40,000 and ₹ 60,000 respectively. Prepare Profit and Loss Appropriation Account for the two years.

ANSWER:

Working Notes:

WN 1 Distribution of Profit for the year 2017-18

Profit for 2018 = Rs 40,000

Profit sharing ratio = 2 : 2 : 1

C is given a guarantee of minimum profit of Rs 10,000

Deficiency in C’s Profit Share = 10,000 − 8,000 = Rs 2,000

This deficiency is to be borne by B.

Therefore,

Final Profit Share of A = 16,000

Final Profit Share of B = 16,000 − 2,000 = Rs 14,000

Final Profit Share of C = 8,000 + 2,000 = Rs 10,000

WN 2 Distribution of Profit for the year 2018-19
Profit for 2019 = Rs 60,000

Profit sharing ratio = 2 : 2 : 1

C is given a guarantee of minimum profit of Rs 10,000

Question 81: A, B and C are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 5 : 4 : 1. C is given a guarantee that his minimum share of profit in any given year would be at least ₹ 5,000. Deficiency, if any, would be borne by A and B equally. Profit for the year ended 31st March 2019 was ₹ 40,000.
Pass necessary Journal entries in the books of the firm.
ANSWER:

Working Notes:

Profit for the year = Rs 40,000

Profit sharing ratio = 5 : 4 : 1

C is given a guarantee of minimum profit of Rs 5,000

Deficiency in C’s share = 5,000 − 4,000 = Rs 1,000

This deficiency is to be borne by A and B equally.

Therefore,

Final Profit Share of A = 20,000 − 500 = Rs 19,500

Final Profit Share of B = 16,000 − 500 = Rs 15,500

Final Profit Share of C = 4,000 + 1,000 = Rs 5,000

Question 84: A, B and C are partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 3 : 2 : 1. They earned a profit of ₹ 30,000 during the year ended 31st March, 2019.  Distribute profit among A, B and C if:
(a) C's share of profit is guaranteed to be ₹ 6,000 Minimum.
(b) Minimum profit payable to C amounting to ₹ 6,000 is guaranteed by A.
(c) Guaranteed minimum profit of ₹ 6,000 payable to C is guaranteed by B.
(d) Any deficiency after making payment of guaranteed ₹ 6,000 will be borne by A and B in the ratio of 3 : 1.

ANSWER:

Case (a)

Working Notes:
Profit = Rs 30,000
Profit sharing ratio = 3 : 2 : 1

C is given a guarantee of minimum profit of Rs 6,000

Deficiency in C’s Profit Share = 6,000 − 5,000 = Rs 1,000
This deficiency is to be borne by A and B in their profit sharing ratio i.e. 3 : 2

Therefore,

Final Profit Share of A = 15,000 − 600 = Rs 14,400

Final Profit Share of B = 10,000 − 400 = Rs 9,600

Final Profit Share of C = 5,000 + 1,000 = Rs 6,000

Case (b)

Working Notes:

Deficiency in C’s Profit Share = 6,000 − 5,000 = Rs 1,000

This deficiency is to be borne by A only.

Therefore,

Final Profit Share of A = 15,000 − 1,000 = Rs 14,000

Final Profit Share of B = 10,000

Final Profit Share of C = 5,000 + 1,000 = Rs 6,000

Case (c)

Working Notes:

Deficiency in C’s Profit Share = 6,000 − 5,000 = Rs 1,000

This deficiency is to be borne by B only.

Therefore,

Final Profit Share of A = 15,000

Final Profit Share of B = 10,000 − 1,000 = Rs 9,000

Final Profit Share of C = 5,000 + 1,000 = Rs 6,000

Case (d)

Working Notes:

Deficiency in C’s Profit Share = 6,000 − 5,000 = Rs 1,000

This deficiency is to be borne by A and B in the ratio of 3 : 1.

Therefore,
Final Profit Share of A = 15,000 − 750 = Rs 14,250
Final Profit Share of B = 10,000 − 250 = Rs 9,750
Final Profit Share of C = 5,000 + 1,000 = Rs 6,000

Question 85: A and B are in partnership sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3 : 2. They admit C, their Manager, as a partner with effect from 1st April, 2018, for 1/4th share of profits. C, while a Manager, was in receipt of a salary of ₹ 27,000 p.a. and a commission of 10% of the net profits after charging such salary and commission.
In terms of the Partnership Deed, any excess amount, which C will be entitled to receive as a partner over the amount which would have been due to him if he continued to be the manager, would have to be personally borne by A out of his share of profit. Profit for the year ended 31st March, 2019 amounted to ₹ 2,25,000. You are required to show Profit and Loss Appropriation Account for the year ended 31at March, 2019.
ANSWER:

Working Notes:

WN 1 Calculation of Remuneration to C as a Manager

Salary to C = Rs 27,000

Commission to C = 10% of Net Profit after Salary and Commission

Net Profit after Salary and Commission = 2,25,000 − 27,000 = Rs 1,98,000

C’s remuneration as Manager = Salary + Commission = 27,000 + 18,000 = Rs 45,000

WN 2 Calculation of Profit Share of C as a Partner

Profit = Rs 2,25,000

Part of C’s Profit Share to be borne by A = 56,250 − 45,000 = Rs 11,250

Profit available for distribution between A and B = 2,25,000 − 45,000 = Rs 1,80,000

A’s Profit share after adjusting C’s deficiency = 1,08,000 − 11,250 = Rs 96,750

Question 86: Asgar, Chaman and Dholu are partners in a firm. Their Capital Accounts stood at ₹ 6,00,000; ₹ 5,00,000 and ₹ 4,00,000 respectively on 1st April, 2017. They shared Profits and Losses in the proportion of 4 : 2 : 3. Partners are entitled to interest on capital @ 8% per annum and salary to Chaman and Dholu @ ₹ 7,000 per month and ₹ 10,000 per quarter respectively as per the provision of the Partnership Deed. Sholu's share of profit ( excluding interest on capital but including salary) is guaranteed at a minimum of ₹ 1,10,000 p.a. Any deficiency arising on that account shall be met by Asgar. The profit for the year ended 31st March, 2018 amounted to ₹ 4,24,000.
Prepare Profit and Loss Appropriation Account for the year ended 31st March, 2018.
ANSWER:

Working Notes:

Profit available for distribution =  4,24,000 – (1,20,000 + 84,000+ 40,000) = Rs 1,80,000

Profit sharing ratio = 4 : 2 : 3

Dholu’s Minimum Guaranteed Profit = Rs 1,10,000 (excluding interest on capital, but including salary)
Dholu’s Minimum Guaranteed Profit (excluding salary) = 1,10,000 – 40,000 = Rs 70,000
But, Dholu’s Actual Profit Share = Rs 60,000
Deficiency in Dholu’s Profit Share = 70,000 – 60,000 = 10,000
This deficiency is to be borne by Asgar alone.
Therefore,
Asgar’s New Profit Share =  80,000 – 10,000 = Rs 70,000

Question 88: Ankur, Bhavns and Disha are partners in a firm. On 1st April, 2017, the balance in their Capital Accounts stood at ₹ 14,00,000, ₹ 6,00,000 and ₹ 4,00,000 respectively. They shared profits in the proportion of 7 : 3 : 2 respectively. Partners are entitled to interest on capital @ 6% per annum and salary to Bhavna @ ₹ 50,000 p.a. and a commission of ₹ 3,000 per month to Disha as per the provisions of the partnership Deed. Bhavna's share of profit (excluding interest on capital) is guaranteed at not less than ₹ 1,70,000 p.a. Disha's share of profit (including interest on capital but excluding commission) is guaranteed at not less than ₹ 1,50,000 p.a. Any deficiency arising on that account shall be met by Ankur. The profit of the firm for the year ended 31st March, 2018 amounted to ₹ 9,50,000.
Prepare Profit and Loss Appropriation Account for the year ended 31st March, 2018.

ANSWER:

Working Notes:
Profit available for distribution =  9,50,000 – (1,44,000 + 50,000 + 36,000) = Rs 7,20,000
Profit sharing ratio = 7 : 3 : 2 

Bhavna’s Minimum Guaranteed Profit = Rs 1,70,000 (excluding interest on capital)

But, Bhavna’s Actual Profit Share = Rs 1,80,000
This implies that there is no deficiency in Bhavna’s profit share as her actual profit share
(i.e. Rs 1,80,000) exceeds his minimum guaranteed profit share (i.e. Rs 1,70,000).

 Disha’s Minimum Guaranteed Profit = Rs 1,50,000 (including interest on capital but excluding salary)
Disha’s Minimum Guaranteed Profit (excluding interest) = 1,50,000 – 24,000 = Rs 1,26,000
But, Disha’s Actual Profit Share = 1,20,000
Deficiency in Disha’s Profit Share = 1,26,000 – 1,20,000 = 6,000
This deficiency is to be borne by Ankur alone.
Therefore,
Ankur’s New Profit Share =  4,20,000 – 6,000 = Rs 4,14,000

Question 92: Three Chartered Accountants A, B and C form a partnership, profits being shared in the ratio of 3 : 2 : 1 subject to the following:
(a) C's share of profit guaranteed to be not less than ₹ 15,000 p.a.
(b) B gives a guarantee to the effect that gross fee earned by him for the firm shall be equal to his average gross fee of the preceeding five years when he was carrying on profession alone, which on an average works out at ₹ 25,000.
The profit for the first year of the partnership are ₹ 75,000. The gross fee earned by B for the firm is ₹ 16,000. You are required to show Profit and Loss Appropriation Account after giving effect to the above.
ANSWER:

Working Notes:

Deficiency in revenue guaranteed by B = 25,000 − 16,000 = Rs 9,000

∴Profit to be distributed among Partners = 75,000 + B’s deficiency in guaranteed interest

= 75,000 + 9,000 = Rs 84,000

Profit sharing ratio = 3 : 2 : 1

Therefore, Final Profit Share of A = 42,000 − 600 = Rs 41,400

Final Profit Share of B = 28,000 − 400 = Rs 27,600**

Final Profit Share of C =14,000 + 1,000 = Rs 15,000
** In the book, the final profit to B is given as Rs 18,600, however, as per the solution it should be Rs 27,600. The deficiency of Rs 9,000 that was guaranteed by B to the firm would not be deducted from his share as he is bearing it in form of profit.
