Interest amount: Interest can be calculated on ` 69,000 after 1st May, 2012 to 30th June,
2012 at 10% p.a. i.e. interest on ` 69,000 for 60 days at 10% p.a. =` 69,000 x 10/100 x
60/366 = ` 1,131 (approx.)
Note: Alternatively, interest can be calculated on the basis of 365 days instead of 366 days.
In such a case, interest amount will be ` 1,134 (approx.) instead of ` 1,131.
