1Partner A contributed ₹1,000,000 as capital on 1st April 2024 and introduced additional capital of ₹200,000 on 1st October 2024. If interest on capital is allowed at 10% per annum, what is the total interest on capital for the year ending 31st March 2025?
A.₹100,000
B.₹110,000
C.₹120,000
D.₹105,000
Explanation: Interest on initial capital of ₹1,000,000 for 1 full year at 10% equals ₹100,000. Interest on additional capital of ₹200,000 for 6 months (from 1st October to 31st March) at 10% equals ₹10,000. Therefore, total interest on capital is ₹100,000 + ₹10,000 = ₹110,000.
2A partner draws ₹5,000 at the beginning of every month throughout the year. Interest on drawings is charged at 12% per annum. What is the total interest on drawings charged to the partner for the year?
A.₹3,600
B.₹3,900
C.₹4,200
D.₹3,000
Explanation: Total drawings for the year are 12 × ₹5,000 = ₹60,000. When drawings are made at the beginning of each month, the average period is (12 + 1) / 2 = 6.5 months. Interest on drawings = ₹60,000 × (12 / 100) × (6.5 / 12) = ₹3,900.
3A partner withdraws ₹4,000 at the middle of every month throughout the financial year. Interest on drawings is charged at 10% per annum. What is the total interest on drawings?
A.₹2,400
B.₹2,600
C.₹2,200
D.₹4,800
Explanation: Total annual drawings are 12 × ₹4,000 = ₹48,000. For drawings made in the middle of every month, the average period is 6 months. Interest = ₹48,000 × (10 / 100) × (6 / 12) = ₹2,400.
4A partner withdraws ₹6,000 at the end of every month during the financial year. If interest on drawings is charged at 8% per annum, what is the amount of interest on drawings?
A.₹2,880
B.₹2,640
C.₹3,120
D.₹2,400
Explanation: Total annual drawings equal 12 × ₹6,000 = ₹72,000. When drawings occur at the end of each month, the average period is (11 + 0) / 2 = 5.5 months. Interest = ₹72,000 × (8 / 100) × (5.5 / 12) = ₹2,640.
5In the absence of any written Partnership Deed, what rate of interest per annum is payable on an advance or loan provided by a partner to the firm?
A.6% per annum
B.10% per annum
C.12% per annum
D.No interest is payable
Explanation: According to Section 13(d) of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932, in the absence of an agreement, a partner making an advance or loan to the firm beyond capital is entitled to interest at the rate of 6% per annum.
6According to the provisions of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932, how are profits and losses of a firm shared among partners when there is no Partnership Deed?
A.In proportion to capital contributions
B.Equally among all partners
C.In proportion to sales brought by each partner
D.In proportion to age of partners
Explanation: Section 13(b) of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932 explicitly mandates that in the absence of a contract between partners, all partners are entitled to share equally in the profits earned and must contribute equally to the losses sustained.
7Net profit of a firm before charging manager's commission is ₹220,000. The manager is entitled to a commission of 10% on net profit after charging such commission. What is the amount of manager's commission?
A.₹22,000
B.₹20,000
C.₹18,000
D.₹24,200
Explanation: When commission is calculated on profit after charging commission, the formula is: Commission = Net Profit × [Rate / (100 + Rate)]. Substituting the values: ₹220,000 × (10 / 110) = ₹20,000.
8Net profit of a partnership firm before charging commission is ₹150,000. A partner is entitled to a commission of 5% on net profit before charging any commission. What is the commission payable to the partner?
A.₹7,500
B.₹7,143
C.₹15,000
D.₹5,000
Explanation: When commission is payable on net profit before charging commission, the formula is: Commission = Net Profit × (Rate / 100). Here, ₹150,000 × (5 / 100) = ₹7,500.
9Partners X and Y share profits in the ratio 3:2. They admit Z for a 1/5th share in profits, with a guaranteed minimum profit of ₹30,000 per annum. Any deficiency is to be borne by X and Y in their old profit sharing ratio 3:2. Total firm profit for the year is ₹100,000. What is X's final share of profit?
A.₹48,000
B.₹42,000
C.₹32,000
D.₹50,000
Explanation: Z's basic 1/5th share of ₹100,000 is ₹20,000. Since Z is guaranteed ₹30,000, the deficiency is ₹10,000. Remaining profit of ₹80,000 is shared by X and Y in 3:2 ratio, giving X a basic share of ₹48,000. X bears 3/5 of the ₹10,000 deficiency (₹6,000). Thus, X's final share = ₹48,000 - ₹6,000 = ₹42,000.

A.Fluctuating Capital Method
B.Fixed Capital Method
C.Revaluation Method
D.Single Entry Method

All regular appropriations like interest on capital, drawings, interest on drawings, and salary are routed through Partner's Current Accounts.
