Answer 1

Calculation of opening capital

Saroj Mahinder Umar

Closing capital 80000 60000 40000

Add:drawings 24000 24000 36000

Less:profits (40000) (30000) (10000)

Opening capital 64000 54000 66000

Interest on capital@10% 6400 5400 6600

Interest on drawings@5%

(Total drawings*5%*5.5/12) 550 550 900

Notes: As date of drawings for Umar is not given we have assumed an average of 6 months.

36000*5%*6/12= 900

The adjusting entry is:-

Saroj's Capital A/c Dr. 2350

Mahinder's Capital A/c Dr. 1300

To Umar's Capital A/c 3650

(Being adjustment entry passed)
