5. Notes:
1.
Treatment of Interest on loan
Interest on loan of a partner is a
business expense, and should be
subtracted from Net Profit
2.
If Profit given in the question is
after salary, it may be added to N.P.
before solving the question, so that
Salary is shown as an appropriation on
the debit side.
6. 3.Commission of Manager is also a
business expense.
Therefore it should be
subtracted from the Net Profit.
a) Commission on Net Profit before
charging such commission :N.P. × Rate/100
b) Commission on Net Profit after Charging such
commission:-
N.P. × Rate/100 +Rate

12. Calculation of interest on Drawings
Case 1: When total amount of drawings are given (i.e. the date of
drawings is not given),
e.g. Drawings of A= Rs.7000 and of B= Rs. 6000, interest on
drawings being 5% p.a.
In such a case, interest should be calculated on an average for
6 months.
i.e. interest on drawings
of A =
7,000 × 5 × 6 = Rs. 175
100 12
of B = 6,000 × 5 × 6 = Rs. 150
100
12
13.
Case 2. Suppose in the above illustration rate
is given i.e. interest on drawings (Av.) is 5%
(not 5% p.a.), then interest should be calculated
for full year
Interest on drawings of A =
7,000 x 5
100
= Rs. 350
Interest on drawings of B =
6,000 x 5
100
= Rs. 300
14. Case 3 . When dates of drawings are given , we can
calculate interest with help of a) Table method ( i.e.
according to time) or b) by using product method.
Example: Drawings of A during the year were as
under : calculate interest on drawings @6% p.a.
31st March Rs.2,000
30th June
Rs. 1,000
31st August Rs. 500
Calculate Interest on Drawing for the year ending 31st
Dec.
15. a) Calculation according to time
Interest on Drawings:
On 2,000 × 6 × 9
= 90
100 12
On 1,000 × 6 × 6 = 30
100 12
On 500 x 6 x 4
= 10

18. In case partners withdraw equal amount each
month and throughout the year
--- If a partner withdraws at the beginning of
each month, interest should be charged on an
average for 6 ½ months i.e. 6.5 months. { Being
Average of (12 + 1) ÷ 2 }
Example:- Calculate interest on Drawing at the rate of 8%p.a if
A withdraws Rs.2,000 at the beginning of each month
Interest = 24,000 × 8 × 6.5 = = Rs.1,040
100
12
19.
--- If a partner withdraws at the end of each
month, interest should be charged on an average
for 5 ½ months i.e. 5.5 months.
Example:- Calculate interest on Drawing at the rate of 8%p.a if
A withdraws Rs.1,500 at the end of each month
Interest = 18,000 × 8 × 5.5
100
12
= Rs.660
20.
--- If a partner withdraws at the middle of each
month, interest should be charged on an average
for 6 months.
Example:- Calculate interest on Drawing at the rate of 8%p.a if
A withdraws Rs.2,500 at the middle of each month
Interest = 30,000 × 8 × 6__
100
12
= Rs.1,200
21. Practice these :
If a partner withdraws twice a year, one on 30th
June and the other on 31st Dec.
If a partner withdraws some amount at the end
of each quarter.
If he withdraws at the beginning of each quarter.
If accounts are to be made for six months.
