Cevap
Interest on share capital is restricted to a limited fixed rate, and the remaining net surplus is distributed in proportion to the value of purchases made by each member.
In accordance with Rochdale cooperative principles, share capital in a cooperative society receives only a limited and fixed rate of interest. The major portion of the net trading surplus is returned to members as a patronage dividend calculated strictly according to the value or volume of purchases each member made through the society during the financial year.
