Question : Rohan and Mohan are two friends belonging middle-class family. On 1st April, 2020 they started a business of Tyre manufacturing in the form of a partnership firm without any agreement and contributed Rs.4,00,000 and Rs.2,00.000 respectively as Capital. They know that the factory of Tyre manufacturing pollutes the environment. Therefore, there are two options available before them: (i) The factory can be opened in rural areas where local residents are poor and illiterate. (ii) An advanced pollution control plant can be installed in their factory to control the pollution. They decided to choose the second option which involves an additional cost of Rs.4,00,000. On 1st July 2020 to arrange this amount, the firm took a loan of Rs.3,00,000 from ICICI Bank carrying interest @ 12% p.a. and the rest Rs.1,00,000 was provided by Rohan as a loan to the firm without any agreement. During the year Rohan withdrew Rs.4,000 at the end of each quarter and Mohan withdrew Rs.12,000 during the year. Interest on drawings is to be charged @ 6% p.a. At the end of the first year, the firm earns a net profit of Rs.1,50,000.
Interest on Mohan's Drawings will be:
Option 1: Rs.720
Option 2: Rs.360
Option 3: Rs.240
Option 4: Rs.120
Correct Answer: Rs.360
Solution :
Calculation of Mohan's drawings:
Time period when the date of drawings is not mentioned = 6.
Interest on drawings = Total drawings X Rate X Time period = Rs.12,000 X 6% X 6/12 = Rs.360. Hence, the correct option is 2.
