Question : Assertion (A) :The Product Method / technique is used to determine interest on drawings when a partner's withdrawals are made at different times or for different amounts.
Reason (R): Interest on Drawings is incurred while a partner is drawing on them. Average methods cannot be used to calculate interest on capital if the number of draws or the length of time they are made are not constant.
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 the Reason (R) is false
Option 4: Assertion (A) is false but the 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 :
The PRODUCT METHOD of computing interest on withdrawals is utilised when various amounts are withdrawn on various dates.
This method multiplies the amount of each drawing by the length of time. The amount of all the products is then totalled, and interest is computed for a month based on that total.
Interest on Drawings = Products Total*Interest Rate*1/12
Hence the correct answer is option 1.
