Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies how to calculate the cost of shares in an unlisted private company. When a director acquired shares at different prices and is now selling some, the First-In, First-Out (FIFO) method should be applied. This means the cost of the earliest acquired shares is used first when calculating the cost of acquisition for the shares being sold.

Cost for shares have to be taken on FIFO that is first in first out. in your case out of 150 shares, cost of 100 shares have to be taken as 10 and the cost of balance 50 shares have to be taken as 500
Unlisted company
