The firm took loan of ₹ 2,00,000 from Nirmal on 1st October, 2019. Before giving effect to the above, the firm incurred a loss of ₹ 10,000 for the year ended 31st March,2020.

Determine the amount to be transferred to Profit and Loss Appropriation Account.

Answer 1

Given:

Profit and loss sharing ratio = 3 : 2

Given amount of loan to Pawan = ₹ 3,500,000

Interest rate charged = 10%

Value of the loan taken by the firm = ₹ 200,000

Loss incurred = ₹ 10,000

To find:

The amount to be transferred to Profit and Loss Appropriation Account  = ?

Solution:

The calculation is shown below:

Net loss incurred for the year - ₹10,000

Add: Interest received on loan taken by the Pawan ₹ 350,000

(₹ 3500000 x 10/100)

Less: Interest on loan taken by the firm - ₹12,000

(₹ 200000 x 6/100)

Amount transferred  ₹328,000

Hence, the amount to be transferred to Profit and Loss Appropriation Account  is ₹328,000
