Louw's interest on capital = R35,200
Louw's capital contribution = R440,000
Louw's interest on capital = (35,200 / 440,000) x 100% = 8%
Therefore, Vilander's interest on capital is also 8%.
1.2. Current Account for Vilander:
Balance b/d (1 March 20.22) (credit) 65,000
Add: Salary 10,000 x 9 months + Salary increase 2,500 x 3 months = 97,500
Add: Interest on capital (660,000 x 8%) = 52,800
Less: Drawings 33,000
Less: Interest on drawings (33,000 x 5% x 12/12) = 1,650
Balance c/d (28 February 20.23) = 181,650
Current Account for Louw:
Balance b/d (1 March 20.22) (debit) 15,200
Add: Salary 144,000
Add: Interest on capital (440,000 x 8%) = 35,200
Less: Drawings 259,000
Less: Interest on drawings (259,000 x 5% x 12/12) = 6,475
Balance c/d (28 February 20.23) = (80,475)
1.3. Statement of Changes in Equity on 28 February 2023:
Opening Capital:
Vilander 660,000
Louw 440,000
Net Profit: 140,000
Remaining profit (after primary distribution):
Vilander's share = 660,000 / (660,000 + 440,000) x 140,000 = 84,000
Louw's share = 440,000 / (660,000 + 440,000) x 140,000 = 56,000
Add: Vilander's profit share 84,000
Add: Louw's profit share 56,000
Less: Drawings:
Vilander 33,000
Louw 259,000
Closing Capital:
Vilander = 660,000 + 84,000 - 33,000 = 711,000
Louw = 440,000 + 56,000 - 259,000 = 237,000
