Question 6

If a fixed amount is withdrawn on the first day of every quarter, for what period the interest on total amount withdrawn will be calculated?

Answer

If a fixed amount is withdrawn on the first day of every quarter, then the interest is calculated on the amount withdrawn for a period of seven and half months. Example: If a partner withdraws Rs 1,000 in the beginning of each quarter and the interest is charged @ 10% on the drawings, then interest on drawings is calculated as:

Total drawings made by the partner during the whole year are Rs 4,000, i.e. Rs 1,000 × 4.

Interest on drawings = 4,000 x 10% x 7(1/2) 12 = 1,250
