Working Notes:

WN 1 Calculation of Interest on Capital

WN 2 Calculation of Interest on Drawings

WN 3 Calculation of Amount to be transferred to Reserve

Amount for Reserve = 10% of Divisible Profit

Divisible Profit = Profit + Interest on Drawings − Interest on Capital

= 68,460 + 540 − 4,500 = Rs 64,500

WN 4 Calculation of Profit Share of each Partner

Profit available for Distribution = 68,460 + 540 − 4,500 − 6,450 = Rs 58,050

Profit sharing ratio = 2 : 1
