At the end of the year, Dan drew ₦15,000 while baker drew ₦14,000 in four installments on 31/3, 30\6, 30\9 and 30\12. The net profit for the year was ₦48,000. ₦5000 is to be written off the goodwill account. Determine the total interest on capital due to the partners?
Answer Details
Dan's capital = ₦50,000
Baker's capital = ₦30,000
Total capital = ₦80,000
Interest on Dan's capital = 6% of ₦50,000 = ₦3,000
Interest on Baker's capital = 6% of ₦30,000 = ₦1,800
Total interest on capital due to the partners = ₦3,000 + ₦1,800 = ₦4,800
Therefore, the answer is ₦4800.
