Choose the correct option to pass a journal entry for the past adjustment if the Interest on capital Rs.2000 for Vimla Rs.3000 for Kamla
Solution
Interest on capital that should have been allowed: Vimla 2,000 and Kamla 3,000; total 5,000. This 5,000 was wrongly distributed as profit in 1:1, i.e. 2,500 each. Net effect: Vimla received 2,500 instead of 2,000 (excess 500); Kamla received 2,500 instead of 3,000 (short 500). Under fixed capital system, adjustments are made in Current Accounts. Entry: Vimla's Current A/c Dr 500; To Kamla's Current A/c 500.
