विकल्प

• ₹ 37,000

• ₹ 30,000

• ₹ 97,000

• ₹ 90,000

Answer 1

Net Profit for the year will amount to ₹ 30,000.

Explanation:

Profit before adjustments = ₹ 97,000

Less:

• Rent to Jai = ₹ 5,000 × 12 = ₹ 60,000
• Interest on Partap's Loan:
  • ₹ 1,00,000 × 6% × 10/12 = ₹ 5,000
  • ₹ 50,000 × 6% × `8/12` = ₹ 2,000
  • Total = ₹ 7,000

Net Profit = ₹ 97,000 − ₹ 60,000 − ₹ 7,000 = ₹ 30,000
