The solution to this question is as follows:
Past Adjustment
| X | Y | Z | Total | ||
| Interest on Capital | 5,000 | 4,000 | 3,000 | = | 12,000 |
| Less: Interest on Drawings | (700) | (500) | (300) | = | (1,500) |
| Add: Partner’s Salaries | 1,000 | 1,500 | NIL | = | 2,500 |
| Right Distribution of ₹ 13,000 | 5,300 | 5,000 | 2,700 | = | 13,000 |
| Less: Wrong distribution of ₹ 13,000 (3:1:1) | (7,800) | (2,600) | (2,600) | = | (13,000) |
| (2,500) Dr. | 2,400 Cr | 100 Cr | = | NIL |
Explanation:
Capital has a credit balance if it is deducted will be debited, and if it is added, it will be credited.
Here X wrongly took an excess ₹ 2,500; hence, ₹ 2,500 will be deducted from X’s capital Account; on the other hand, Y and Z took less amount than they should have been taken; hence the capital account of Y and Z will be added.
