Question 1 Report

A partnership agreement allows interest on capital at 6% per annum. Partner E has maintained capital of $75 000 throughout the year. What is Partner E's interest on capital for the year?

Answer Details

The correct answer is $4 500.

Interest on capital is calculated as a percentage of the partner's capital balance.

Partner E's capital: $75 000.

Interest rate: 6% per annum.

Interest on capital: 6% x $75 000 = $4 500.

This amount is debited to the appropriation account and credited to Partner E's current account (or capital account in a fluctuating system). Interest on capital compensates partners for their investment in the business and is appropriated before the residual profit is shared.
