Accounting for Partnership : Basic Concepts – Fixed and Fluctuating Capitals Solutions
1. Triphati and Chauhan are partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3:2. Their capitals were ₹ 60,000 and ₹ 40,000 as on April 01, 2015. During the year they earned a profit of ₹ 30,000. According to the partnership deed both the partners are entitled to ₹ 1,000 per month as salary and 5% p.a. interest on their capital. They are also to be charged an interest of 5% p.a. on their drawings, irrespective of the period, which is ₹ 12,000 for Tripathi, ₹ 8,000 for Chauhan. Prepare Partner’s capital/current Accounts when, capitals are fixed.
We need to consider the following two cases.
(a)
Partners’ salaries, Interest on Capital and Interest on Drawings are charged against the profit
(b)
Partners’ salaries, Interest on Capital and Interest on Drawings are distributed out of profit.

However, note that the default method that should be considered is the one where in the charges are distributed out of profit (b). However, we’re providing here both the methods to get the students acquainted with both of them.
