Question : Assertion (A): Jiten, Karan, and Lalit are partners with capitals of Rs.2,00,000, Rs.6,00,000, and Rs.8,00,000, respectively, who share profits in the 3:2:1 ratio. Jiten was granted a salary of Rs.60,000 per year and interest on capitals at 5% per year under the Partnership Deed. The year's net profit is Rs.1,20,000.
Reason (R): The year's distributable profit is insufficient to cover all appropriations. As a result, divisible profit will be distributed in the appropriation ratio, i.e. 7:3:4.
Option 1: Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A)
Option 2: Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A)
Option 3: Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is False
Option 4: Assertion (A) is false but Reason (R) is True
Correct Answer: Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A)
Solution : Jiten will receive 60000 + 10,000 as interest on capital, Karan 30,000 as interest on capital, and Lalit 40,000 as interest on capital. It comes to 1,40,000, which is more than the profit available. Thus, profit would be distributed in the proportion of 70,000:30,000:40,000 i.e. 7:3:4.
Hence the correct answer is option 1.
