Calculation of Interest on Capital;

If part of the capital is withdrawn during the year, interest on the part of the
capital that was invested for the whole year, interest is calculated for the
whole year and it is added with the amount of interest that is calculated on
the remaining capital that was invested for the relevant period. For example,
Anmol has Rs. 30,000 as balance in his capital account at the beginning of
the year. In the middle of the year he withdrew Rs.10,000 from his capital.
He is entitled for interest @ 10% p.a.
In this case, interest will be calculated in the following manner:
(20,000 10/100) + (10,000 10/100 1/2) = Rs. 2,500;
Alternatively, we can calculate interest on capital with respect to the amount
remained invested for the relevant period. In the above example, the interest
may also be calculated as follows: (30,000 10/100 1/2) + (20,000
10/100 1/2) = Rs. 2,500.

Illustration;
Mansoor and Reshma are partners in a firm. Their capital accounts showed
the balance on Jan 1, 2000 as Rs. 20,000 and Rs. 15,000 respectively.During
the year, Mansoor introduced additional capital of Rs.10,000 on May 1, 2000
and Reshma brought in further capital of Rs.15,000 on July 1, 2000. Reshma
withdrew Rs. 5,000 from her capital on October 1, 2000. Interest is allowed
@ 6% p.a. on the capitals. Calculate the interest to be paid on the capital.
