Accountancy

purchased ₹120 cum intrest (117₹ deb + ₹3int) sold ₹105 ex intrest (₹105deb + ₹2int) why is brokerage paid on quoted price and not after calculating intrest ? it may happen that to avoid paying brokerage on interest, it can b quoted in ex intrest

Rule1: To decide whether to apply brokerage on ex interest or cum interest, apply based on information given in question Eg: brokerage 10%on cum interest. If nothing information about whether to apply brokerage on ex interest or cum interest given in question, then we generally apply on cum interest because it is the value at which transaction taken place


edit = sold deb ₹110 cum intrest (₹105 deb + ₹5 intrest) sold deb ₹120 ex intrest (120₹ deb + ₹1 intrest) brokerage 2% why is brokerage paid on cum int & not on ex intrest, even though intrest is received on both cases

The buyer always pays interest irrespective of whether it is cum interest or ex interest. It is just a way of expression It is like GST Eg. Price of tv : 5000(ex GST) GST :300 Total 5300 ( cum GST) The buyer always pays gst . Cum interest or ex interest, it is just a way of expression I think you have understood?

Brokerage is paid by both seller and buyer during sale and purchase transaction. Here, brokerage charged on on rs.1 also. But if question says brokerage calculated on ex interest.then brokerage is calculated on only principal amount and not on that interest (rs.1). Conclusion: If question says nothing , apply brokerage on cum interest price If question says where to apply , must follow accordingly

Generally brokerage is paid on transaction value. If the question mentions brokerage on ex interest, then calculate accordingly.
