Question:

A and B are partners with capital of ₹10,000 and ₹5,000 respectively. Loan given by A to the firm was of ₹10,000. There is no partnership deed. A and B expect 10% interest on Capital. Profit before interest on loan, on 31 march 2021 was of ₹2,000. Divisible Profit would be -

Options:

₹2,000

₹1,400

₹500

₹100

Correct Answer:

₹1,400

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 2- ₹1,400.

6% interest on loan will be allowed as there is no partnership deed. 

Loan = 10,000
Interest = 10,000 x 6/100
            = 600

Profit = 2,000 before interest on loan
Net profit after interest = 2,000 - 600
                                  = 1,400

This profit is transferred to profit and loss appropriation account. No interest on capital is allowed to partners as there is no deed. So, divisible profit is ₹1,400.
