"X- 25,000 Y - 50,000"
Correct Answer:
"X- 40,000 y - 20,000"
Explanation:
" X- 5,00,000 * 10% = 50,000
Y- 1,30,000*10%= 13,000 + (1000*12) 12,000
Y - 25,000
50,000 : 25,000
2:1
60,000 *2/3= 40,000
60,000 * 1/3 = 20,000
When Profit available is less than the amount of appropriation to be made, the available profit will be distributed in the ratio of appropriation to be made. "
