Answer 1

Interest on capital for Misha = \( 50,000 \times 10\% = ₹ 5,000 \). Interest on capital for Prisha = \( 30,000 \times 10\% = ₹ 3,000 \). Interest on drawings for Misha = ₹ 660. Interest on drawings for Prisha = ₹ 540. Interest on loan to Prisha = \( 20,000 \times 10\% \times \frac{8}{12} = ₹ 1,333.33 \). Net Profit = ₹ 22,600. Profit and Loss Appropriation Account: \[ \begin{array}{|l|r|r|} \hline Particulars & Misha's Share (₹) & Prisha's Share (₹)
\hline Net Profit & 22,600 & 22,600
Interest on Capital & 5,000 & 3,000
Interest on Loan & 1,333.33 & \text{--}
Interest on Drawings & (660) & (540)
Profit to be Appropriated & 28,273.33 & 25,060
\hline \end{array} \]
