    Question

    ​The manager of a firm is entitled to a commission of 5% of Net profit after charging such commission. Net profit before charging commission is ₹ 42,000. Calculate the Commission of Manager.

    A.

    ₹ 2,500

    B.

    ₹ 2,000

    C.

    ₹ 3,000

    D.

    ₹ 3,500

    Correct option is B

    The correct answer is (b) ₹2,000

    Explanation:
    • Formula when commission is on net profit after charging such commission:

    Commission=Net Profit before commission×Rate100+Rate\text{Commission} = \frac{\text{Net Profit before commission} \times \text{Rate}}{100 + \text{Rate}}​​

    • Substituting values:42,000×5105=2,000\frac{42,000 \times 5}{105} = ₹2,000

    • Therefore, the manager’s commission = ₹2,000.

    Information Booster:
    • When commission is on net profit before commission, it is calculated directly as:
    Commission=Net Profit×Rate/100
    • When it is after charging commission, denominator becomes (100 + Rate).
    • Such commission is treated as an expense in the Profit & Loss Account.
    • It is often given to reward managerial performance.
    • Appears under indirect expenses in final accounts.

    Additional Knowledge:
    If Net Profit before commission = ₹42,000, then Net Profit after commission = ₹40,000 (₹42,000 – ₹2,000).
    • The term “after charging such commission” implies self-adjusted calculation.
    • This adjustment ensures that the manager’s reward does not inflate reported profits.
    • Commonly seen in partnership and corporate accounting scenarios.
