Question 5. (B)
Solution 5
(B)

Class 12 Chapter 2 Accounting for Partnership Firms Fundamentals

Working Note:-
1. Salary of Anubha = Rs. 700 × 12 = 8,400
Salary of Kajal = Rs. 500 × 12 = 6,000
2. Profit distribution between partners:-
Anubha’s Profit = Rs. 23,476 × 2/3 = Rs. 15,651
Kajal’s Profit = Rs. 23,476 × 1/3 = Rs. 7,825
3. Calculation of Interest on Capital:-
Anubha = Rs. 90,000 × 5% = Rs. 4,500
Kajal = Rs. 60,000 × 5% = Rs. 3,000
4. Calculation of Interest on Drawings:-

Kajal = Rs. 6,500 × 5/100 × 6/12 = Rs. 163

(B).Points for Students:-
Interest on drawings is to be charged from the partners, if the same is specifically provided in the partnership deed. If it is to be charged, it should be calculated from the date of the withdrawal of the amount.

Question 6.

Solution 6

Class 12 Chapter 2 Accounting for Partnership Firms Fundamentals

Working Note:-
1. B’s Salary = Rs. 2,500 × 12 = 30,000
2. Profit distribution between partners:-
Anubha’s Profit = Rs. 1,20,000 × 3/5 = Rs. 72,000
Kajal’s Profit = Rs. 1,20,000 × 2/5 = Rs. 48,000
1. Calculation of Interest on Capital:-
A = Rs. 6,00,000 × 6% = Rs. 36,000
B = Rs. 4,00,000 × 6% = Rs. 24,000

Points for Students:-
Interest on drawings is to be charged from the partners, if the same is specifically provided in the partnership deed. If it is to be charged, it should be calculated from the date of the withdrawal of the amount. In the absence of the date of withdrawal, interest should be charged for six months on the whole of the amount because it will be assumed that the drawings were made evenly throughout the year.

Question 7.

Solution 7.                                             PROFIT AND LOSS ACCOUNT
                                                            for the year ended 31st March, 2021

Working Note:-

  1. Calculation of Manager’s Commission = Rs. 50,000 × 10% = Rs. 5,000
  2. Calculation of Interest on Capital:-
    X = Rs. 1,00,000 × 12% = Rs. 12,000
    Y = Rs. 80,000 × 12% = Rs. 9,600
  3. Profit distribution between partners:-
    X’s Profit = Rs. 17,400 × 2/3 = Rs. 11,600
    Y’s Profit = Rs. 17,400 × 1/3 = Rs. 5,800

Points for Students:-
Under this system the original capitals invested by the partner remain constant, unless additional capital is introduced or drawings are made against capital by an agreement. In other words, capitals of the partners are not allowed to change during the life-time of business except in extraordinary circumstances. When fixed capital method is adopted, all entries relating to drawings against profits, interest allowed on capitals, interest charged on drawings, salary to partner, share of profit or loss etc. are made in a newly-opened account for each partner. The account is called Current Account or Drawings Account.

Question 8.

Solution 8

                                              PROFIT AND LOSS APPROPRIATION ACCOUNT
                                                        for the year ended 31st March, 2021

Working Note:-

  1. Calculation of Commission:-
    Asha’s Commission = Rs. 5,40,000 × 8/100 = Rs. 43,200
    Lata’s Commission = Rs. 5,40,000 × 8/108 = Rs. 40,000
  1. Profit distribution between partners:-
    Asha’s Profit = Rs. 2,56,600 × 1/3 = Rs. 85,600
    Lata’s Profit = Rs. 2,56,600 × 2/3 = Rs. 1,71,200

Points for Students:-
When the capitals need not be fixed, the balances of capital accounts go on changing from time to time. The reason is that no separate Current Accounts are maintained, but all the entries relating to drawings, interest on capitals, interest on drawings, salary to partner, share of profit or loss etc., are recorded in the capital account itself.

Question 9.

Solution 9

                                                  PROFIT AND LOSS APPROPRIATION ACCOUNT
                                                        for the year ended 31st March, 2020

Working Note:-
Calculation of Partner’s Commission:-
Profit after charging Interest on capital = Rs. 6,00,000 – Rs. 1,20,000 = Rs. 4,80,000
B’s Commission = Rs. 4,80,000 × 10/100 = Rs. 48,000
Profit after charging Interest on capital and B’s Commission = Rs. 6,00,000 – Rs. 1,20,000 – Rs. 48,000
Profit after charging Interest on capital and B’s Commission = Rs. 4,32,000
A’s Commission (after charging B’s commission own commission) = Rs. 4,32,000 × 8/108 = Rs. 32,000

Points for Students:-
If a partner has given loan to the firm, he is entitled to receive interest on such loan at an agreed rate of interest. However, if there is no agreement as to the rate of interest, he is entitled to receive interest on loan @ 6% per annum. Interest on partner’s loan is a charge against the profit and hence, such interest is allowed whether there are profits or not.

Question 10.

Solution 10

                                            PROFIT AND LOSS APPROPRIATION ACCOUNT
                                                     for the year ended 31st March, 2021

Working Note:
1. Calculation of Commission:-
Y’s Commission = Rs. 21,200 × 6/106 = Rs. 1,200
Z’s Commission = Rs. 21,200 × 6/106 = Rs. 1,200
2. Profit distribution between partners:-
Y’s Profit = Rs. 20,000 × 1/2 = Rs. 10,000
Z’s Profit = Rs. 20,000 × 1/2 = Rs. 10, 000

Points for Students:-
Rent paid to a partner is also treated as interest on partner’s loan, rent paid to a partner is also treated as a charge against profit and not an appropriation out of profit and hence it should be debited to Profit and Loss account and not to Profit and Loss Appropriation Account and Credited to partner’s Current Account in case of fixed capital system or to Partner’s Capital Account when Capitals are fluctuating.

Question 11.

Solution 11

Class 12 Chapter 2 Accounting for Partnership Firms Fundamentals


Working Note:-

  1. 1. Calculation of Interest on capital:-
    Interest on Capital L:-
    Rs. 2,00,000 for 3 months = Rs. 2,00,000 × 9/100 × 3/12 = Rs. 4,500
    Rs. 3,00,000 for 9 months = Rs. 3,00,000 × 9/100 × 3/12 = Rs. 20,250

Interest on Capital N:-
Rs. 4,00,000 for 3 months = Rs. 4,00,000 × 9/100 × 3/12 = Rs. 9,000
Rs. 3,00,000 for 9 months = Rs. 3,00,000 × 9/100 × 3/12 = Rs. 20,250

(A).Points for Students:-
The accounts of the partnership firm have been closed after the financial year, it is discovered that there have been some errors or omissions in the accounts. In such cases, instead of altering the old accounts, the signed balance sheet and adjustment entry for such errors or omissions is made at the beginning of the next year. Usually the following types of adjustments are made:
(1) When Interest on Capital or Drawings may have been omitted.
(2) When Profits and Losses have been distributed among the partners in a wrong proportion.
(3) When profit sharing ratio has been altered with effect from some past date.
(4) When salary or commission payable to person has been omitted.

Question 11. (B)

Solution 11 (B)
Calculation of Adjustment of Capital:-
Total capital of the firm = Rs. 2,10,000 + Rs. 90,000 = Rs. 3,00,000
Profit sharing ratio = 2:1
A’s Capital will be = Rs. 3,00,000 × 2/3 = Rs. 2,00,000
B’s Capital will be = Rs. 3,00,000 × 1/3 = Rs. 1,00,000
Hence, on 1st August, 2016 A withdraw Rs. 10,000 and B will introduce additional capital of Rs. 10,000.

Calculation of Interest on Capital:-
A’s Interest on Capital:-

1st April, 2016 31st July, 2016 = Rs. 2,10,000 × 12/100 × 4/12 = Rs. 8,400
1st Aug., 2016 31st Mar., 2017 = Rs. 2,00,000 × 12/100 × 8/12 = Rs. 16,000
Total interest on capital = Rs. 8,400 + Rs. 16,000 = Rs. 24,400

B’s Interest on Capital:-
1st April, 2016 31st July, 2016 = Rs. 90,000 × 12/100 × 4/12 = Rs. 3,600
1st Aug., 2016 31st Mar., 2017 = Rs. 1,00,000 × 12/100 × 8/12 = Rs. 8,000
Total interest on capital = Rs. 3,600 + Rs. 8,000 = Rs. 11,600

(B).Points for Students:-
Interest on partner’s capital is to be allowed only when it is expressly agreed to among the partners. If interest on capital is to be allowed as per agreement, it should be calculated with respect to the time, rate of interest and the amount of capital.
Interest on drawings is to be charged from the partners, if the same is specifically provided in the partnership deed. If it is to be charged, it should be calculated from the date of the withdrawal of the amount. In the absence of the date of withdrawal, interest should be charged for six months on the whole of the amount because it will be assumed that the drawings were made evenly throughout the year.

C = Rs. 80,000 × 10% = Rs. 8,000
2. Calculation of Profit and Loss:-
Capital Ratio = 2,00,000 : 2,00,000 : 80,000
Capital Ratio = 5 : 5 : 2
Profit = 2,80,000 – 48,000 – Rs. 24,000
Profit = 2,08,000

Case (a)

Class 12 Chapter 2 Accounting for Partnership Firms Fundamentals

Working Note:-
(i) Interest on A’s Loan = Rs. 2,00,000 x 6/100 x 9/12 = Rs. 9,000
(ii) Interest on B’s Loan = Rs. 1,00,000 x 6/100 x 9/12 = Rs. 4,000

Points for Students:-
Interest on partner’s capital is to be allowed only when it is expressly agreed to among the partners. If interest on capital is to be allowed as per agreement, it should be calculated with respect to the time, rate of interest and the amount of capital.

Question 17.

Solution 17

Class 12 Chapter 2 Accounting for Partnership Firms Fundamentals

Points for Students:-
Interest on drawings is to be charged from the partners, if the same is specifically provided in the partnership deed. If it is to be charged, it should be calculated from the date of the withdrawal of the amount. In the absence of the date of withdrawal, interest should be charged for six months on the whole of the amount because it will be assumed that the drawings were made evenly throughout the year.

Question 18.

Solution 18

Class 12 Chapter 2 Accounting for Partnership Firms Fundamentals


Working Note:-

1. Calculation of Net Profit = 5,50,000 – Rs. 1,20,000 = Rs. 4,30,000
2. Calculation of Interest on Capital:-
Radha = Rs. 2,00,000 × 8% = Rs. 16,000
Rukmani = Rs. 3,00,000 × 8% = Rs. 24,000
3. Calculation of Profit and Loss:-
Profit of transferred Capital account = Rs. 4,30,000 – (Rs. 2,40,000 + Rs. 40,000)
Profit of transferred Capital account = Rs. 1,50,000
Radha’s Profit = Rs. 1,50,000 × 1/3 = Rs. 50,000
Rukmani’s Profit = Rs. 1,50,000 × 2/3 = Rs. 1,00,000

Points for Students:-
Under this system the original capitals invested by the partner remain constant, unless additional capital is introduced or drawings are made against capital by an agreement. In other words, capitals of the partners are not allowed to change during the life-time of business except in extraordinary circumstances. When fixed capital method is adopted, all entries relating to drawings against profits, interest allowed on capitals, interest charged on drawings, salary to partner, share of profit or loss etc. are made in a newly-opened account for each partner. The account is called Current Account or Drawings Account.

1. Calculation of Net Profit = 7,60,000 – Rs. 2,40,000 = Rs. 5,20,000
2. Calculation of Interest on Capital:-
P = Rs. 5,00,000 × 8% = Rs. 40,000
Q = Rs. 3,00,000 × 8% = Rs. 24,000
3. Net Profit after deducting Expenses:-
Rs. 5,20,000 – (Rs. 64,000 + Rs. 60,000 + Rs. 60,000) = Rs. 3,36,000
Q’s Commission = 3,36,000 × 5/105 = Rs. 16,000
4. Calculation of Profit and Loss:-
P’s Profit = Rs. 3,20,000 × 60/100 = Rs. 1,92,000
Q’s Profit = Rs. 3,20,000 × 40/100 = Rs. 1,28,000

Points for Students:-
Rent paid to a partner is also treated as interest on partner’s loan, rent paid to a partner is also treated as a charge against profit and not an appropriation out of profit and hence it should be debited to Profit and Loss account and not to Profit and Loss Appropriation Account and Credited to partner’s Current Account in case of fixed capital system or to Partner’s Capital Account when Capitals are fluctuating.

Question 20.

Net Profit in P&L App. A/c = Net Profit in P&L A/c – Expenses (Rent)
Net Profit in P&L App. A/c = Rs. 7,60,000 – Rs. 2,40,000
Net Profit in P&L App. A/c = Rs. 5,20,000
(2) Net Profit after deducting interest on capitals, salary and P’s commission:
Rs. 5,20,000 – Rs. 64,000 – Rs. 60,000 – Rs. 60,000 = Rs. 3,36,000
Q’s Commission = 3,36,000 x 5/105 = 16,000

Points for Students:-
If a partner has given loan to the firm, he is entitled to receive interest on such loan at an agreed rate of interest. However, if there is no agreement as to the rate of interest, he is entitled to receive interest on loan @ 6% per annum. Interest on partner’s loan is a charge against the profit and hence, such interest is allowed whether there are profits or not.

Vikas’s Share of Profit = Rs. 7,87,500 × 3/5 = Rs. 4,72,500
Vivek’s Share of Profit = Rs. 7,87,500 × 2/5 = Rs. 3,15,000
Vandana’s deficiency = Rs. 1,50,000 – Rs. 1,12,500 = Rs. 37,500. Deficiency will be contributed Vikas and Vivek in the ratio 2:3.
Vikas’s Contribution = Rs. 4,72,500 – Rs. 15,000 = Rs. 4,57,500
Vivek’s Contribution = Rs. 3,15,000 – Rs. 22,500 = 2,92,500

Points for Students:-
When the capitals need not be fixed, the balances of capital accounts go on changing from time to time. The reason is that no separate Current Accounts are maintained, but all the entries relating to drawings, interest on capitals, interest on drawings, salary to partner, share of profit or loss etc., are recorded in the capital account itself.

Calculation of Interest on Drawings:-
A’s Interest on Drawings = Rs. 60,000 × 5.5/12 × 10/100 = Rs. 2,750
B’s Interest on Drawings = Rs. 60,000 × 4.5/12 × 10/100 = Rs. 2,250
C’s Interest on Drawings = Rs. 60,000 × 6/12 × 10/100 = Rs. 3,000

Calculation of Profit:-
Net Profit = 4,32,000 + 8,000 – Rs. 80,000 = Rs. 3,60,000
A’s Share of Profit = Rs. 3,60,000 × 3/6 = Rs. 1,80,000 – Rs. 40,000 = Rs. 1,20,000
B’s Share of Profit = Rs. 3,60,000 × 2/6 = Rs. 1,20,000
C’s Share of Profit = Rs. 3,60,000 × 1/6 = Rs. 60,000 + Rs. 40,000 = Rs. 1,00,000
C’s deficiency = Rs. 1,00,000 – Rs. 60,000 = Rs. 40,000. Deficiency will be contributed A.

Points for Students:-
If a partner has given loan to the firm, he is entitled to receive interest on such loan at an agreed rate of interest. However, if there is no agreement as to the rate of interest, he is entitled to receive interest on loan @ 6% per annum. Interest on partner’s loan is a charge against the profit and hence, such interest is allowed whether there are profits or not.
