A and B share profits in the ratio 5:3. The total profit before appropriation is ₹1,10,000. According to the partnership agreement, B is to receive a salary of ₹30,000 before the remaining profit is shared. What will be A’s share of profit?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹50,000

B’s salary of ₹30,000 is an appropriation of profit, so it must first be deducted from the total profit: ₹1,10,000 − ₹30,000 = ₹80,000. This residual profit is shared in the ratio 5:3. Therefore, A’s share is \(₹80,000 \times \frac{5}{8} = ₹50,000\). ₹68,750 would result from sharing the entire profit directly in the ratio 5:3 without adjusting B’s salary. Exam tip: deduct the partner’s salary before applying the residual profit-sharing ratio.
