• B. $Rs.1,500$
• C. $Rs.4,500$
• D. $Rs.2,000$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$Rs.1,500$

Profit of the accounting year 2014 - 2015 = Rs. 24000

Profit till 30th june = Rs.24000 * (3/12) = 6000

Distribution of profit among partners on the date of the death of D

R = 6000 * (7/16) = 2625

J = 6000 * (5/16) = 1875

D = 6000 * (4/16) = 1500
