Working Note: –
Calculation of Total Interest on X’s Loan
Interest on Loan from X = Value of Loan X Rate of Interest X Period
Value of Loan = 80,000
Rate of Interest = 6%
Period = from 01/10/18 to 31/03/19 i.e. 6 months
(Date of Loan Taken to the end of Financial year.)
= 80,000 X 6/100 X 6/12
Total Interest on A’s Loan = 2,400/-
Calculation of Total Interest on Y’s Loan
Interest on Loan from Y = Value of Loan X Rate of Interest X Period
Value of Loan = 40,000
Rate of Interest = 6%
Period = from 01/10/18 to 31/03/19 i.e. 6 months
(Date of Loan Taken to the end of Financial year.)
= 40,000 X 6/100 X 6/12
Total Interest on Y’s Loan = 1,200/-
