Accounting for Partnership

Question:

Under which method, for each withdrawal, the money withdrawn is multiplied by the period (usually expressed in months) for which it remained withdrawn during the financial year?

Options:

Average Method

Product Method

Specific Method

All of above

Correct Answer:

Product Method

Explanation:

When partners withdraw varying amounts of money at different times, the interest on drawings is calculated using the product method. This method involves multiplying each withdrawal amount by the period it remained withdrawn (usually in months) during the financial year. The period is calculated from the date of the withdrawal until the last day of the accounting year. These individual products are then totaled, and the interest is calculated by multiplying the total of the products by the specified interest rate, divided by 12.
