I have a doubt actually in this problem. (IPCC GROUP 1 - INVESTMENT ACCOUNTS)
Anurag holds 16% of debentures in S Ltd. Opening balance as on 1/1/04 face value Rs 60000 (Cost is Rs 59000). On 1/3/04 100 units purchased ex interest at Rs 98.
On 1/10/04 purchased 50 debentures at Rs 98 cum interest.
He closes his books every 31st Dec. Interest dates are 30th September and 31st March.
I just wanted to know how the calculation of interest is done in these 2 cases. And could you explain why so ans so months interest is taken in these cases with a logical reason.

Cum Interest means the price includes the interest also, Ex interest is the price which is not include the Interest. Suppose price of Securiies Rs.100 and Interest 3 ( Cum interest Price will be Rs.103 and Ex interest price will be Rs.100)
