Chetan and Rajan are partners sharing profit and loss in the ratio of 7/3 with fixed capitals of 3,60,000 and 2,00,000 respectively. They have earned a net profit of 1,60,000 during the year which was divided between them in equal ratio considering following adjustments: I. Interest on capitals is to be allowed @10% p.a. II. Salary payable @300 per month to Chetan and 1200 quarterly to Rajan. However Interest on drawings 2,000 and 1200 payable by Chetan and Rajan respectively has been omitted to be recorded. You are required to pass an adjustment entry to remove the effect of above error.

Answer :

Answer:

To rectify the errors and omissions in the books of accounts, we need to pass an adjustment entry. Let's first calculate the necessary adjustments step-by-step.

Calculations

Interest on Capital:

Chetan: \text{10% of } 3,60,000 = 36,000

Rajan: \text{10% of } 2,00,000 = 20,000

Net Profit Distribution:

Net profit before adjustments = 1,60,000

Adjusted Net Profit = 1,60,000 - (Interest on Capital) - (Salaries) + (Interest on Drawings)

= 1,60,000 - (36,000 + 20,000) - (3,600 + 4,800) + (2,000 + 1,200)

= 1,60,000 - 56,000 - 8,400 + 3,200

= 1,60,000 - 61,200

= 98,800

Profit Share based on ratio (7:3):

Adjustments Needed

Now, let's adjust the amounts actually recorded versus what should have been recorded:

Interest on Capital:

Chetan: 36,000

Rajan: 20,000

Salaries:

Chetan: 3,600

Rajan: 4,800

Interest on Drawings:

Chetan: 2,000

Rajan: 1,200

Profit Sharing:

Correct Shares: Chetan: 69,160, Rajan: 29,640

Copy code

Chetan's Capital A/c Dr. 10,840

Rajan's Capital A/c Dr. 50,360

To Interest on Capital A/c 56,000

To Salaries A/c 8,400

To Interest on Drawings A/c 3,200

To Profit and Loss Appropriation A/c 8,000

Here’s the detailed explanation of the entry:

Debit Chetan's Capital and Rajan's Capital accounts to correct the excess distribution.

Credit Interest on Capital for the interest that should have been allocated.

Credit Salaries for the salaries that should have been allocated.

Credit Interest on Drawings for the interest that was not recorded.

Credit Profit and Loss Appropriation account to adjust the profit share difference.

This entry ensures that all errors and omissions are corrected and the books reflect the correct financial position of Chetan and Rajan's partnership.
