Answer Details

To determine each partner's share of profit, we need to first calculate the interest on their capital contribution. Williams contributed N60,000, so the interest on his capital is 10% of N60,000, which is N6,000. Jacob contributed N40,000, so the interest on his capital is 10% of N40,000, which is N4,000. The total interest on capital is N6,000 + N4,000 = N10,000. To find Williams' share of the remaining profit, we need to subtract the interest on capital from the total profit: N20,000 - N10,000 = N10,000 Now we can divide the remaining profit equally between Williams and Jacob since there is no partnership agreement. Therefore, Williams' share of profit is N10,000 ÷ 2 = N5,000. So the correct option is: - N5,000
