Profit before providing interest on Partner’s loan 7,02,600
Less : Interest on Partner’s loan (3,00,000 X 6%) 18,000
NET PROFIT 6,84,600
- Calculation of general reserve : 10% of divisible profit
Divisible profit = Net profit + Interest on drawings – Interest on capital
= 6,84,600 + 5,400 – 45,000

General reserve = 6,45,000 x 10% = Rs 64,500
