Step 4: On June 30th, 2001 interest will be received @ 6% on Rs. 2,00,000 for the entire 6 months
i.e. 6/100 X 2,00,000 X 6/12 = Rs. 6,000
Step 5: On Dec 31st, 2001 interest will be received @ 6% on Rs. 2,00,000 for the entire 6 months
i.e. 6/100 X 2,00,000 X 6/12 = Rs. 6,000

Stock price will be valued on the basis of cost or market price whichever is lower. In this case, cost of
1,87,000
stock (FIFO basis) is Rs. 74,800 X 80,000 but market price is Rs. 79,200 (Rs. 99 X 800).
2,00,000
Therefore, the value of stock on 31st December, 2001 will be Rs. 74,800 (being lower of the two)
