Partners A and B share profits equally. A withdraws Rs. 400 at the end of each month for the six-month period ending June 30, 2008. Calculate the interest on drawings at 5% per annum.
Total drawings = 400 * 6 = 2,400. Average period = (Remaining months after first drawing + Remaining months after last drawing) / 2 = (5 + 0) / 2 = 2.5 months.
