Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
Total profit received = ₹1,80,000
Donation to charity = 10% of total profit
Remaining profit is shared among the partners in the ratio 1:2:2
Formula Used:
Share of first partner = (Remaining Profit) × (Ratio of first partner) / (Sum of Ratios)
Calculation:
Donation to charity = 10% of ₹1,80,000
Donation to charity = ₹1,80,000 × 10/100
Donation to charity = ₹18,000
Remaining profit = Total profit - Donation to charity
Remaining profit = ₹1,80,000 - ₹18,000
Remaining profit = ₹1,62,000
Sum of Ratios = 1 + 2 + 2
Sum of Ratios = 5
Share of first partner = ₹1,62,000 × 1 / 5
Share of first partner = ₹1,62,000 / 5
Share of first partner = ₹32,400
The share of the first partner is ₹32,400.
