Question for Tips & Tricks: Partnership
Try yourself:Three friends A, B, C invested in a business in the ratio of 4:5:6. After 6 months C withdraw half of his capital. If the sum invested by A is 36000, then the profit earned by C out of the total profit of 60000.
Explanation
-
Investment Ratios:
-
A : B : C = 4 : 5 : 6
-
A's investment = ₹36,000
-
Time Period:
-
All invest for 6 months.
-
After 6 months, C withdraws half of his capital, so he continues with the remaining half for the next period (let's assume another 6 months, totaling 12 months).
-
Total Profit = ₹60,000
Step 1: Determine Individual Investments
-
Let the investments be:
-
A = 4x = ₹36,000 → x = 9,000
-
B = 5x = 5 × 9,000 = ₹45,000
-
C = 6x = 6 × 9,000 = ₹54,000
Step 2: Calculate Capital Deployment Over Time
Step 3: Total Capital-Weighted Contributions
-
A's Total = 2,16,000 + 2,16,000 = ₹4,32,000
-
B's Total = 2,70,000 + 2,70,000 = ₹5,40,000
-
C's Total = 3,24,000 + 1,62,000 = ₹4,86,000
Step 4: Profit Sharing Ratio
-
A : B : C = 4,32,000 : 5,40,000 : 4,86,000
-
Simplify by dividing by 54,000:
Step 5: Calculate C's Share of Profit
-
Total Ratio Parts = 8 + 10 + 9 = 27
-
C's Share = (9 / 27) × ₹60,000 = ₹20,000
Final Answer:
The profit earned by C is ₹20,000.
