Dairo and Segun are in partnership sharing profits and losses in the ratio 2:3 respectively. The information below relates to their business for the year ended 31st December, 2018.

                   Drawings:

         ₦

                   Dairo        12000
                   Segun        18000
                   Capital:   
                   Dairo        120000
                   Segun         60000

- Interest on drawings 10%
- Interest on capital 5%
- Profit for the year ₦36,000
- Salary: Segun ₦10,000

Segun's share of profit is

A.

₦12,000

B.

₦21,400

C.

₦14,600

D.

₦16,400

Correct answer is A

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
