M and R are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3 : 2. Their capital A/c's showed the balance of Rs. 4,00,000 and Rs. 3,00,000 respectively on 1 April, 2021. M introduced additional capital on 1 August, 2021. Interest on capital is allowed @ 6% p.a. Total interest on capital of both the partners is Rs. 50,000.

Calculate additional capital introduced by M on 1 August, 2021 and interest on capital earned on additional capital. Books are closed on 31 March.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Interest on opening capitals: M = 4,00,000 times 6 percent = 24,000; R = 3,00,000 times 6 percent = 18,000. Total = 42,000.

Balance interest = 50,000 minus 42,000 = 8,000, on additional capital for 8 months.

Additional = 8,000×126%×8\frac{8,000 \times 12}{6\% \times 8} = Rs. 2,00,000.
