Q14 :

Following is the extract of the Balance Sheet of, Neelkant and Mahdev as on March 31, 2013:

During the year Mahadev’s drawings were Rs 30,000. Profits during 2013 is Rs 10,00,000. Calculate interest on capital @ 5% p.a for the year ending March 31, 2013.

 * As per the question, this year should be March 2013

Answer:
 

Interest on Capital

Neelkant's 10,00,000* (5/100)= Rs 50,000

Mahadev's 10,00,000 * (5/100)= Rs 50,000

Note: In this question, as the balances of both Partner's Capital Account and of Partner's Current Account are mentioned, so it has been assumed that the capital of the partners is fixed.

As we know, when the capital of the partners is fixed, drawings and interest on capital does not affect the capital balances of the partners. Rather, it would affect their current account balances. Therefore, in this case, capital at the beginning (i.e. opening capital) and capital at the end (i.e. closing capital) of the year would remain same. Thus, the interest on capital is calculated on fixed capital balances (given in the Balance Sheet of the question).
