Calculation of Interest on Capital

Interest on Moli's Capital=20,000×6100=1,200Interest on Bholi's Capital=10,000×6100=600Total Amount of Interest on Capital=(1,200+600)=1,800

Case (a)

Where there is no clean agreement except for interest on capitals

Profit for the year ended = ₹ 1,500

Total amount of interest = ₹ 1,800

Here, total amount of interest on capital is more than the profit available for distribution. Therefore, profit of Rs 1,500 is distributed between Moli and Bholi in the ratio of their interest on capital.
