Solution and Explanation
Given
- Capitals on 1-10-2023 — Aakash: ₹80,00,000; Baadal: ₹60,00,000.
- Profit sharing ratio = equal (A : B = 1 : 1).
- Interest on capital = 10% p.a.
- Guarantee: Baadal’s share of profit, after charging interest on capital, will not be less than ₹7,00,000 per annum. Any deficiency to be met by Aakash.
- Profit for year ended 31-03-2024 = ₹13,00,000.
Working
Partners started on 1-10-2023 and the year ended on 31-03-2024 → period = 6 months. Interest on capital is for 6 months i.e. $10\%\times\frac{6}{12}=5\%$ of capital.
- Interest to Aakash = $80,00,000\times5\%=₹4,00,000$.
- Interest to Baadal = $60,00,000\times5\%=₹3,00,000$.
- Total interest = ₹4,00,000 + ₹3,00,000 = ₹7,00,000.
Profit available for distribution after interest = Total profit − Total interest = ₹13,00,000 − ₹7,00,000 = ₹6,00,000.
This remaining ₹6,00,000 is shared equally → each gets ₹3,00,000.
Baadal’s total receipts = Interest on capital (₹3,00,000) + his share of remaining profit (₹3,00,000) = ₹6,00,000. But guarantee requires Baadal to get at least ₹7,00,000.
Deficiency = ₹7,00,000 − ₹6,00,000 = ₹1,00,000. This is met by Aakash.
Profit & Loss Appropriation Account for the year ended 31-03-2024
| Dr (Particulars) | ₹ | Cr (Particulars) | ₹ |
|---|---|---|---|
| To Interest on Aakash’s Capital | 4,00,000 | By Profit (Net) | 13,00,000 |
| To Interest on Baadal’s Capital | 3,00,000 | ||
| To Profit transferred to Aakash’s Capital (½ of ₹6,00,000) | 3,00,000 | ||
| To Profit transferred to Baadal’s Capital (½ of ₹6,00,000) | 3,00,000 | ||
| Total | 13,00,000 | Total | 13,00,000 |
Guarantee adjustment (outside P&L Appropriation)
Aakash meets the deficiency of ₹1,00,000 for Baadal. The journal entry is:
Aakash’s Capital A/c Dr. ₹1,00,000 To Baadal’s Capital A/c ₹1,00,000 (Being deficiency on guarantee met by Aakash)
Final effect on partners’ capitals (summary)
- Aakash receives: Interest ₹4,00,000 + Share ₹3,00,000 = ₹7,00,000, less ₹1,00,000 paid to Baadal → Net +₹6,00,000.
- Baadal receives: Interest ₹3,00,000 + Share ₹3,00,000 + Guarantee compensation ₹1,00,000 → Net +₹7,00,000.
Answer
Profit & Loss Appropriation A/c is prepared above. In addition, Aakash’s Capital A/c is debited and Baadal’s Capital A/c credited by ₹1,00,000 to meet the guarantee.
