Solution

First, let's calculate the interest on capital for both partners:

For P: Interest on Capital = 10,00,000 * 12/100 = 1,20,000

For Q: Interest on Capital = 6,00,000 * 12/100 = 72,000

Now, let's pass the journal entries:

  1. Interest on Capital Account Dr. 1,92,000 To P's Capital Account 1,20,000 To Q's Capital Account 72,000 (Being interest on capital allowed to partners)

  2. Profit and Loss Appropriation Account Dr. 1,50,000 To Interest on Capital Account 1,92,000 To P's Capital Account 42,000 (Being net profit transferred to appropriation account and loss due to interest on capital distributed to partners)

  3. P's Capital Account Dr. 42,000 To Q's Capital Account 42,000 (Being loss due to interest on capital distributed to partners)

Please note that the firm has suffered a loss due to the provision of interest on capital. This loss is borne by the partners in their profit sharing ratio. In this case, the entire loss is borne by P as he has a higher capital contribution and profit sharing ratio.
