= Profit before interest and remuneration - Interest - remuneration
= Rs-8,000 - (600 + 360) - (3,600)
= Rs-3,440.

Distributing profit is equal ratio among partners = Rs-3,440 / 2
                                                                                = Rs-1,720 to each partner.

Interest on capital = Capital x rate of interest 
A:-
= 10,000 x 6/100
= Rs-600
B:-
= 6,000 x 6/100
= Rs-360. 
B's remuneration = Rs-300 x 12
