A and B have equal capitals, but their profit-sharing ratio is 4:1. What is A's share of a profit of Rs 50,000?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Rs 40,000

The governing concept is that profit is divided according to the agreed profit-sharing ratio, not automatically according to capital contribution. The ratio 4:1 contains 4 + 1 = 5 total parts. A is entitled to four parts, so A’s share is 4/5 × Rs 50,000 = Rs 40,000. B receives the remaining one-fifth, or Rs 10,000, and both amounts total the full Rs 50,000. Equal capitals do not make the profit ratio equal when the partnership agreement expressly specifies 4:1. Thus option A is correct. Option B incorrectly assumes equal division, option C gives B’s share, and option D assigns the entire profit to A without contractual support.
