Based on last year’s profit

A,B and C were partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 5:4:1. The profit of the firm for the year ending on March 31, 2017 was Rs.1,00,000. B dies on June 30, 2017. Calculate share of B’s share of profit for the period from April 1 to June 30, 2017.

Total profit for the year ending

on 31 st March, 2017 = 1,00,000

B’s share of profit = 1,00,000 x 3/12 x 4/10

= 10,000

The journal entry will be recorded as follows :

Profit & Loss Suspense A/c Dr. 10,000

To B’s Capital A/c 10,000

(B’s share of profit transferred to his capital account)

8 of 23

Based on average profits of past few years

A,B and C were partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 5:4:1. The profit of the firm for the last three years were Rs. 1,36,000 for 2014-15, Rs. 1,54,000 for 2015-16 and Rs. 1,00,000 for 2016-17. B dies on June 30, 2017. Calculate share of B’s share of profit for the period from April 1 to June 30, 2017.

Average Profit = Total Profit / No. of years

= (1,36,000 + 1,54,000 + 1,00,000) / 3

= 3,90,000 / 3

= 1,30,000

B’s share of profit = 1,30,000 × 3/12 x 4/10

= 13,000

The journal entry will be recorded as follows :

Profit & Loss Suspense A/c Dr. 13,000

To B’s Capital A/c 13,000

Based on Sales

A,B and C were partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 5:4:1. Sales during the year 2016-17 were Rs. 8,00,000 and profit Rs. 2,00,000. The sales from April 1, 2017 to 30th June were Rs. 1,00,000. Calculate B’s share of profits for the period from April 1, 2017 to June 30, 2017.

If sale is Rs.8,00,000, the profit = 2,00,000

Profit % = 2,00,000 x 100 = 25%

8,00,000

If sale is Rs. 1,00,000, the profit = 1,00,000 x 25% = 25,000

B’s Share of profit = 25,000 x 4/10 = 10,000

The journal entry will be recorded as follows :

Profit & Loss Suspense A/c Dr. 10,000

To B’s Capital A/c 10,000
