    • ❖ The amount of Interest payble in capital of Anand @8% p.a. is Rs. 17,800 and amount of Interest payable on capital of Biswas @8% p.a. is Rs. 27,300.

    SOLUTION :

    [tex] \\ \\ [/tex]

    Given :-

    • Capital of Anand as on April 1, 2015 = Rs. 2,00,000
    • Capital of Biswas as on April 1, 2015 = Rs. 3,00,000
    • Capital introduced by Anand on July 1, 2015 = Rs. 50,000
    • Capital introduced by Biswas on July 1, 2015 = Rs. 60,000
    • Amount withdrawn by Anand on October 1, 2015 = Rs. 30,000
    • Amount withdrawn by Biswas on January 1, 2016 = Rs. 15,000
    • Rate of Interest on Capital = 8% p.a.

    To Calculate :-

    • Interest payable on Capital to Anand during the year 2015 – 2016 = ?
    • Interest payble on Capital to Biswas during the year 2015 – 2016 = ?

    Required Formula :-

    • Interest on Capital in given rate of interest for a specific period of time is calculated under the following formula :

    [tex]\dag \: \: \underline{ \boxed{ \bold{ \: Interest \: \: on \: \: Capital = Amount\: \: of \: \: Capital \times Rate \: \: of \: \: Interest \times Time \: }}}[/tex]

    ____________________________________________

    Calculation of Interest payable on Capital to Anand during the year 2015 – 2016 :-

    [tex] \\ [/tex]

    Here,

    • Capital of Anand as on April 1, 2015 = Rs. 2,00,000
    • Rate of Interest on Capital = 8% p.a.
    • Time = 3 months (From April 1 to June 30)

    Using the formula of Interest on Capital, we get,

    • Interest on Capital = Amount of Capital × Rate of Interest × Time

    ⇒ Interest on Capital = Rs. 2,00,000 × 8% × 3 months

    ⇒ Interest on Capital = Rs. 2,00,000 × [tex]\sf{\dfrac{8}{100}}[/tex] × [tex]\sf{\dfrac{3}{12}}[/tex]

    Interest on Capital = Rs. 4,000

    Again,

    • Capital introduced as additional capital by Anand on July 1, 2015 = Rs. 50,000

    ∴ Total Capital = Rs. 2,00,000 + Rs. 50,000

    ➨ Total Capital = Rs. 2,50,000

    • Rate of Interest on Capital = 8% p.a.
    • Time = 3 months ( From July 1 to September 30)

    Using the formula of Interest on Capital, we get,

    • Interest on Capital = Amount of Capital × Rate of Interest × Time

    ⇒ Interest on Capital = Rs. 2,50,000 × 8% × 3 months

    ⇒ Interest on Capital = Rs. 2,50,000 × [tex]\sf{\dfrac{8}{100}}[/tex] × [tex]\sf{\dfrac{3}{12}}[/tex]

    Interest on Capital = Rs. 5,000

    And,

    • Amount withdrawn from Capital by Anand on October 1, 2015 = Rs. 30,000

    ∴ Remaining Capital = Rs. 2,50,000 – Rs. 30,000

    ➨ Remaining Capital = Rs. 2,20,000

    • Rate of Interest on Capital = 8% p.a.
    • Time = 6 months (From October 1 to March 31)

    Using the formula of Interest on Capital, we get,

    • Interest on Capital = Amount of Capital × Rate of Interest × Time

    ⇒ Interest on Capital = Rs. 2,20,000 × 8% × 6 months

    ⇒ Interest on Capital = Rs. 2,20,000 × [tex]\sf{\dfrac{8}{100}}[/tex] × [tex]\sf{\dfrac{6}{12}}[/tex]

    Interest on Capital = Rs. 8,800

    Now,

    • ✪ Total Interest on Capital of Anand = Rs. 4,000 + Rs. 5,000 + Rs. 8,800

    Total Interest on Capital of Anand = Rs. 17,800

    Calculation of Interest payable on Capital to Biswas during the year 2015 – 2016 :-

    [tex] \\ [/tex]

    Here,

    • Capital of Biswas as on April 1, 2015 = Rs. 3,00,000
    • Rate of Interest on Capital = 8% p.a.
    • Time = 3 months (From April 1 to June 30)

    Using the formula of Interest on Capital, we get,

    • Interest on Capital = Amount of Capital × Rate of Interest × Time

    ⇒ Interest on Capital = Rs. 3,00,000 × 8% × 3 months

    ⇒ Interest on Capital = Rs. 3,00,000 × [tex]\sf{\dfrac{8}{100}}[/tex] × [tex]\sf{\dfrac{3}{12}}[/tex]

    Interest on Capital = Rs. 6,000

    Again,

    • Capital introduced as additional capital by Biswas on July 1, 2015 = Rs. 60,000

    ∴ Total Capital = Rs. 3,00,000 + Rs. 60,000

    ➨ Total Capital = Rs. 3,60,000

    • Rate of Interest on Capital = 8% p.a.
    • Time = 6 months ( From July 1 to December 31)

    Using the formula of Interest on Capital, we get,

    • Interest on Capital = Amount of Capital × Rate of Interest × Time

    ⇒ Interest on Capital = Rs. 3,60,000 × 8% × 6 months

    ⇒ Interest on Capital = Rs. 3,60,000 × [tex]\sf{\dfrac{8}{100}}[/tex] × [tex]\sf{\dfrac{6}{12}}[/tex]

    Interest on Capital = Rs. 14,400

    And,

    • Amount withdrawn from Capital by Biswas on January 1, 2016 = Rs. 15,000

    ∴ Remaining Capital = Rs. 3,60,000 – Rs. 15,000

    ➨ Remaining Capital = Rs. 3,45,000

    • Rate of Interest on Capital = 8% p.a.
    • Time = 3 months (From January 1 to March 31)

    Using the formula of Interest on Capital, we get,

    • Interest on Capital = Amount of Capital × Rate of Interest × Time

    ⇒ Interest on Capital = Rs. 3,45,000 × 8% × 3 months

    ⇒ Interest on Capital = Rs. 3,45,000 × [tex]\sf{\dfrac{8}{100}}[/tex] × [tex]\sf{\dfrac{3}{12}}[/tex]

    Interest on Capital = Rs. 6,900

    Now,

    • ✪ Total Interest on Capital of Biswas = Rs. 6,000 + Rs. 14,400 + Rs. 6,900

    Total Interest on Capital of Anand = Rs. 27,300
