Use the following information to answer the question

Ant and Bee withdrew GH⊄ 14,000 and GH⊄ 10,000 respectively at 8% per annum from the partnership.

The total interest on drawings to be charged to profit and loss appropriation account is

A.

GH⊄ 1,120

B.

GH⊄ 1,920

C.

GH⊄ 700

D.

GH⊄ 800

Correct answer is B

To calculate the interest on Ant's withdrawal:

Interest on Ant's Drawings = Ant's Withdrawal x Interest Rate

Interest on Ant's Drawings = GH⊄ 14,000 x 8% = GH⊄ 1,120

 

To calculate the interest on Bee's withdrawal:

Interest on Bee's Drawings = Bee's Withdrawal x Interest Rate

Interest on Bee's Drawings = GH⊄ 10,000 x 8% = GH⊄ 800

 

Total Interest on Drawings = Interest on Ant's Drawings + Interest on Bee's Drawings

Total Interest on Drawings = GH⊄ 1,120 + GH⊄ 800 = GH⊄ 1,920
