Profit is ₹1,20,000. A and B share profits in the ratio 1:2. A receives a salary of ₹30,000 and B receives interest on capital of ₹15,000. What is B’s share of the remaining profit?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹50,000

The governing accounting principle is that agreed salary and interest on capital are appropriations of profit made before the residual profit is divided. The two preliminary appropriations total ₹30,000+₹15,000=₹45,000. Hence the profit remaining for distribution is ₹1,20,000−₹45,000=₹75,000. The profit-sharing ratio A:B is 1:2, so the total is three parts and B is entitled to 2/3 of the residual amount. B’s residual share is therefore 2/3×₹75,000=₹50,000. This answer excludes B’s separate ₹15,000 interest because the question asks only for the remaining-profit share. Option B incorrectly applies the ratio to the original profit, while C and D use unsupported calculations.
