Why the answer is A, and why the others tempt you.
Total interest on capital: (10% × ₦3,000,000) + (10% × ₦2,000,000) + (10% × ₦1,000,000) = ₦300,000 + ₦200,000 + ₦100,000 = ₦600,000. Residual profit = ₦7,200,000 − ₦600,000 = ₦6,600,000. Bello's share of residual profit = 2/6 × ₦6,600,000 = ₦2,200,000. Bello's interest on capital = ₦200,000. Bello's total = ₦2,200,000 + ₦200,000 = ₦2,400,000. Wait — recalculating: Bello's total = ₦2,200,000 + ₦200,000 = ₦2,400,000. The correct answer is ₦2,400,000.
