Question:

Ansh withdraws ₹2,500 at the end of each month. The partnership deed provides for charging the interest on drawings @ 12% p.a. Calculate interest on Ansh’s drawings for the year ended 31st March,2024?

Options:

₹1,650

₹1,750

₹1,550

₹1,850

Correct Answer:

₹1,650

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 1- ₹1,650.

Total amount of drawings = ₹2500 x 12
                                     = ₹30,000

Ist drawing = 30 April, So months left 11
Last drawing = 31 March, So months left 0
Average period of drawings = (11+0) months /2
                                        = 5.5 months

Interest on Ansh drawings = 30,000*12/100*5.5/12
                                       = ₹1,650
