20 August 2009 1. The truck shall be booked by Rs.8.00 Lacs. The financer shall be paid Rs.11.00 Lacs over a period of three years, hence the difference of Rs.3.00 Lacs shall be charged as interest in three years as per calculation either provided by the financer or you may calculate it at your own.
2. Depreciation shall be charged on Rs.8.00 Lacs.
3. If rice seller is using his truck for own business, he will not show any income directly. As saving of freight to be paid to out sider shall also increase his income.
