Correct Answer: Opening capital


Solution : Answer Opening capital.
Interest on capital is always calculated as capital at the beginning of the year. Interest on capital refers to the return earned on the initial investment contributed by partners to the partnership firm. It is typically calculated based on the opening capital balance, providing partners with a reward for investing in the business at the outset. 
Hence, the correct option is 1.
