Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Basic Data
Total amount due on 1st April, 2022 = ₹4,00,000
To be paid in 2 equal annual instalments of ₹2,00,000 each
Interest @ 10% per annum to be paid on outstanding balance
Step 2: Interest and Payment Schedule
31st March, 2023:
Interest = 10% of ₹4,00,000 = ₹40,000
Total due = ₹4,00,000 + ₹40,000 = ₹4,40,000
Payment made = ₹2,00,000 (1st instalment)
Balance carried forward = ₹2,40,000
31st March, 2024:
Interest = 10% of ₹2,40,000 = ₹24,000
Total due = ₹2,40,000 + ₹24,000 = ₹2,64,000
Payment made = ₹2,00,000 (2nd instalment)
Balance carried forward = ₹64,000
31st March, 2025:
Interest = 10% of ₹64,000 = ₹6,400
Final Payment = ₹64,000 + ₹6,400 = ₹70,400
