A & B are partners sharing profits and losses in ratio of 2:3 with capitals of ₹2,00,000 and ₹1,00,000 respectively. Drawings are made by partner of ₹5,000 per month. Interest on drawings is to be charged @ 10% p.a. A gives guarantee to B for his share of profit of ₹10,000. If any deficiency arises, it will be borne by A. A gives a loan of ₹20,000 to firm at which interest is to be provided @ 8% p.a.

If partnership deed provide interest on capital @6% p.a. as a charge on the profit and profit for the year is ₹2,000 after all adjustments. What will be the profit or loss after this adjustment?

₹16,000 loss

The correct answer is option 1- ₹16,000 loss.

Total capital of both partners = 2,00,000 + 1,00,000
                                               = ₹3,00,000

Interest on capital of both partners = 3,00,000 x 6/100
                                                         = ₹18,000

Profit after this adjustment = 2,000-18,000
                                            = ₹16,000(loss)
