The directors decided to write off discount based on the debentures outstanding each year. Discount to be written off in the fifth year will be?

Ram has got the following amounts -

Commission 450 x 25 = 11250

Additional Amount -

Gross sales - Commission = 73800-11250 = 62550

Per Unit net sale = 62550 / 450 = 139

Ram will get the 1/4th of excess amount over Rs. 125 i.e.  1/4[(139-125) x 450] = 1575

Total amout to Ram = 11250 + 1575 = 12825

we should cosider in mind that addition commision is to be calculaed on amount be it 'x' which is excess of gross sales over normal sales less total commision.  Total comm. includes both normal comm. as well as additional comm. which is 1/4x or 0.25x. so solve it as equation:   Gross sales Rs. 73800,    normal sales Rs. 125*450 is Rs. 56250. Normal comm. Rs.11250. Thus  73800-56250-(11250+0.25x) = x

Thus exess of gross sales over normal sales after charging Add. comm. is Rs. 5040 & Add. comm. is Rs. 1260. Total comm.is Rs. 11250+1260 = 12510

Thank u so much......could someone pls solve the other two also....I tried all possible ways...but didn't get the answer...

400 and 47902.50

are they correct.. shud i write solution too

 Thanks a lot ...that's correct answer....capital- 47902.50 & discount -400. pls write for me the solution also. Thank u once again!

Good will brought by the new partner will be shared by the old partners in sacrificing ratio.
combined capital of A and B after sharing goodwill=102900+73500+15210=191610
Let C's capital = X
therefore total capital of Firm = 191610
C's capital = 1/5(total capitaL OF  firm)
X= 1/5(191610+X)
5X=191610+X
4X=191610
X=47902.50

debenture discount is wrttien off in the ratio amount outstanding . in 1st year amnount o/s was RS. 1,00,000 2nd year 80,000 3rd year 60,000 4th year 40,000 5the year 20,000. so ratio becomes 5:4:3:2:1 so discount to be w/o in FIFTH year 6000*1/15= 400

Thank you.. Mohan sir and Dipthi mam...
