This facilitates in keeping the capital and current account uncongested. This, at the end of the year is transferred to Capital or Current Account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/span>INTEREST ON DRAWINGS<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nIt is charged by the partners at a fixed rate written on the partnership deed. In the absence of this clause in the partnership deed no interest is charged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Interest on drawings\nis the income of the firm and is an expense for partner. Usually, it is not\nreceived by the firm in cash. It is calculated on the amount of cash and goods\nwithdrawn by the partners for personal use. Partners are entitled to make\ndrawings from the business against their claim of salaries, commission and\ninterest on capital etc. In addition to this, they can withdraw money from\nbusiness in anticipation of their share of profits to be earned by the business\nduring the accounting period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/span>PURPOSE <\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\nIf the amount withdrawn by the partners are not in their mutual profit share ratio and partner may overdraw or gain at the cost of others. Therefore, to avoid this, interest on drawing is charged so that one who draws more would not gain and is brought at par with the partners whose amount withdrawn is less. Secondly, the interest keeps a check on unnecessary amount withdrawn and this helps in out flow of funds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/span>JOURNAL ENTERIES<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n DATE<\/strong>\n <\/td>\n PARTICULARS<\/strong>\n <\/td>\n L.F.<\/strong>\n <\/td>\n DEBIT<\/strong>\n <\/td>\n CREDIT<\/strong>\n <\/td><\/tr>\n \n <\/td> | FOR DRAWINGS:<\/strong> Partner\u2019s Drawings A\/c Dr. To Cash\/ Purchases A\/c <\/td>\n \n <\/td> | \n \n <\/td> | \n \n <\/td><\/tr> | \n \n <\/td> | FOR INTEREST ON DRAWINGS<\/strong> Partner\u2019s Drawings\/ Current A\/c Dr. To Interest on Drawings <\/td>\n \n <\/td> | \n \n <\/td> | \n \n <\/td><\/tr> | \n \n <\/td> | FOR TRANSFER OF INTERST ON DRAWINGS TO PROFIT & LOSS APPROPRIATION ACCOUNT<\/strong> Interest on Drawings A\/c Dr. To Profit & Loss Appropriation A\/c <\/td>\n \n <\/td> | \n \n <\/td> | \n \n <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>METHODS OF\nCALCULATING INTEREST ON DRAWINGS<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nDrawings of a partner\nmay be broadly divided into:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Irregular Drawing: It means drawing of same amount or different amounts at irregular intervals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Regular Drawing: It means drawing of same amount at regular intervals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When drawing are made at irregular period or of different amounts, Product Method of calculating interest is followed.

The product so obtained is totaled and the interest is calculated thereon for one month, if the period is taken in months and for one day if the period is taken in the days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n INTEREST : TOTAL OF PRODUCT * (RATE OF INTEREST\/100) * (1\/12)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nEXAMPLE<\/p>\n\n\n\n In a partnership, partners are charged interest on drawing @15%p.a.
