Accounting for Partnership

Question:

Himanshu withdrew Rs 2,500 at the end of each month. The partnership deed provides for charging of interest on drawings @ 12% p.a. Calculate interest on Himanshu's drawings for the year ended March 31, 2017.

Options:

Rs 1,950

Rs 1,650

Rs 3,600

Rs 1,675

Correct Answer:

Rs 1,650

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → Rs 1,650

For monthly drawings at the end of each month, the average period = 5.5 months.

Interest on Drawings=Total Drawings × Rate × (Average Period/12)

                                  = 30,000 * (12/100) *( 5.5/12)

                                  = Rs 30,000×0.01×5.5 

                                  = 1,650
