WN 2 Calculation of Profit Share of each Partner

Profits available for Distribution = 1,72,000 − 20,000 − 12,000

= Rs 1,40,000

1. Distribution of first Rs 20,000 in the Capital Ratio i.e. 1:1:2

2. Distribution of Next Rs 30,000 in the ratio of 5:3:2
Accounting for Partnership Firms-Fundamentals (Part - 5) | Accountancy Class 12 - Commerce
3. Remaining Profit available for distribution = Rs 1,40,000 − 20,000 − 30,000 = Rs 90,000

This profit of Rs 90,000 is to be shared equally by the partners.
Accounting for Partnership Firms-Fundamentals (Part - 5) | Accountancy Class 12 - Commerce
Therefore,

Total Profit Share of A = 5,000 + 15,000 + 30,000 = Rs 50,000

Total Profit Share of B = 5,000 + 9,000 + 30,000 = Rs 44,000

Total Profit Share of C = 10,000 + 6,000 + 30,000 = Rs 46,000

Question 55: Anshul and Asha are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3 : 2. Anshul being a non-working partner contributed ₹ 8,00,000 as her capital. Asha being a working partner did not contribute capital. The partnership Deed provides for interest on capital @ 5% and salary to every working partner @ ₹ 2,000 per month.

Working Note:
Accounting for Partnership Firms-Fundamentals (Part - 5) | Accountancy Class 12 - Commerce

Salary to Asha = Rs 24,000

Total appropriation to be made = 40,000 + 24,000 = Rs 64,000

Profit earned during the year = 32,000

Here, profit available for distribution (i.e. Rs 32,000) is less than the sum total of Interest on Capital and Salary (i.e. Rs 64,000).

Therefore, profit will be distributed in the ratio of Interest on Capital and Salary.
