A and B share profits equally. B gave the firm a loan of ₹1,00,000 on 1 April. The deed provides interest on the loan at 9% per annum. The firm incurred a loss of ₹4,000. What is B’s loan interest?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹9,000

Interest on a partner’s loan is a charge against the firm’s profit, not an appropriation of profit. Therefore, it is payable according to the deed even when the firm has incurred a loss. Since the loan was outstanding for the full year from 1 April, the calculation is ₹1,00,000 × 9/100 × 12/12 = ₹9,000. Hence option A is correct. The equal profit-sharing ratio does not affect the loan-interest calculation, so it is not divided equally between A and B. Option B incorrectly treats the loss as cancelling the contractual interest, while options C and D use unsupported amounts or rates.
