Ram and Shyam are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 3:2. Their capitals as on 31st March 2022 were ₹5,00,000 and ₹3,00,000 respectively. There is no partnership deed but both partners agreed for the interest on capital @ 5% p.a. and salary to Shyam of ₹25,000 annually. Shyam salary is debited to profit and loss account. On preparing accounts it was found that Interest on capital is omitted and manager's commission was not given which is 5% of the net profit before charging such commission. Profits after Shyam salary was ₹2,49,300.

How much commission is given to the manager of the firm?

₹13,715

The correct answer is option 1- ₹13,715.

Profit for the calculating manager's commission = 2,49,300(profit) + 25,000(partner salary)
                                                                     = ₹2,74,300
Manager's commission = 2,74,300 X 5/100
                                 = ₹13,715
