Additional Capital introduced on 1/10/21: ₹5,00,000
Rate of Interest = 12 % p.a.

Options:

₹60,000

₹1,44,000

₹90,000

₹1,20,000

Correct Answer:

₹90,000

Explanation:

Opening capital = Closing capital + drawings - Profit - additional capital
                      = 1200000 + 100000 -300000 -500000
                      = 500000
Additional capital = 500000
Interest on opening capital = 500000 X 12/100
                                       = ₹60000
Interest on additional capital = 500000 X 12/100 X 6/12
                                          = 60000 X 1/2
                                          = 30000
Total interest = 60000 + 30000
                   = ₹90000
