Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Interest on drawings = 10%
- Dairo = 10% x 12,0000
= ₦1200
- Segun = 10% x 18,000
= ₦1800
Interest on capital = 5%
- Dairo = 5% x 120,000
= ₦6,000
- Segun = 5% x 60,000
=₦3,000
Salary: segun = ₦10,000
Segun's share of profit = (Net profit + int on drawings) - ( int on capital + segun salary )
= (36000 + 1200 + 1800) - ( 6000 + 3000 + 10000)
= 39000 - 19000
= 20,000
Total ratio = 2+ 3
= 5
Therefore, Segun share of profit = 3 /5 x 20000
= ₦12,000
Interest on drawings = 10%
- Dairo = 10% x 12,0000
= ₦1200
- Segun = 10% x 18,000
= ₦1800
Interest on capital = 5%
- Dairo = 5% x 120,000
= ₦6,000
- Segun = 5% x 60,000
=₦3,000
Salary: segun = ₦10,000
Segun's share of profit = (Net profit + int on drawings) - ( int on capital + segun salary )
= (36000 + 1200 + 1800) - ( 6000 + 3000 + 10000)
= 39000 - 19000
= 20,000
Total ratio = 2+ 3
= 5
Therefore, Segun share of profit = 3 /5 x 20000
= ₦12,000
