Solution and Explanation
Annual sales: ₹ 6,00,000
Profit for the year: ₹ 1,50,000
Profit to sales ratio = \( \frac{1,50,000}{6,00,000} = 25% \)
Sales till Aadi’s death: ₹ 2,00,000
Estimated profit till Aadi’s death = 25% of ₹ 2,00,000 = ₹ 50,000
Aadi’s share = 3/10 × ₹ 50,000 = ₹ 15,000
Journal Entry:
Profit and Loss Suspense A/c Dr. ₹ 15,000
To Aadi’s Capital A/c ₹ 15,000
Profit for the year: ₹ 1,50,000
Profit to sales ratio = \( \frac{1,50,000}{6,00,000} = 25% \)
Sales till Aadi’s death: ₹ 2,00,000
Estimated profit till Aadi’s death = 25% of ₹ 2,00,000 = ₹ 50,000
Aadi’s share = 3/10 × ₹ 50,000 = ₹ 15,000
Journal Entry:
Profit and Loss Suspense A/c Dr. ₹ 15,000
To Aadi’s Capital A/c ₹ 15,000
