X and Y are partners in a firm and their capital account shows a balance of Rs. 1,00,000 and Rs. 75,000 respectively on April 1, 2024. X introduced additional capital of Rs. 50,000 on August 1, 2024, and Mr. Y introduced further capital of Rs. 75,000 on October 1, 2024. Interest on capital is allowed @6 % annually. Calculate interest payable to Y.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

On the opening capital: 75,000×6%=4,50075{,}000 \times 6\% = 4{,}500 for the full year.

On the additional capital from 1 October, six months: 75,000×6%×6/12=2,25075{,}000 \times 6\% \times 6/12 = 2{,}250.

Total interest to Y =4,500+2,250=6,750= 4{,}500 + 2{,}250 = 6{,}750.
