Solution
Since the interest is earned on the minimum balance between 10th day and the last day of the month as per entries, we have
Minimum balance for April = Rs. 8300
Minimum balance for May = Rs. 7600
Minimum balance for June = Rs. 10300
Minimum balance for July = Rs. 10300
Minimum balance for August = Rs. 3900
Minimum balance for September = Rs. 0
Total balance = Rs. 40400
⇒ Total amount qualifying for interest = Rs. 40400
⇒ Principle for 1 month `(1/12 year)` = Rs 40400
Rate of interest = 4.5% per annum
⇒ Interest = Rs `(40400xx4.5 xx 1/12)/100` = Rs 151.50
Amount = Balance in the account in last month + Interest
= 5900 + 151.5
= Rs 6051.50
Thus, Mrs Ravi receives Rs. 6051.50 on closing the account.
