Working Notes:
Calculation of Interest on Capital:
a) Interest on Satnam’s capital:
On Initial capital of Rs 4,00,000
4,00,000* 6% = 24,000
On additional capital of Rs 50,000
50,000* 6% * 6/12 = 1500
Total interest on Satnam’s capital = 24000 + 1500 = Rs 25,500.
b) Interest on Qureshi’s Capital:
On initial capital of Rs 2,00,000
2,00,000* 6% = Rs 12,000
On additional capital of Rs 20,000
20,000 * 6% * 3/12 = Rs 300
Total interest on Qureshi’s Capital = 12,300
