Correct Answer: interest on investment credited to Income and expenditure account Rs 3,000 and investment at the end of the year Rs 62,000


Solution : Investment purchased during the year =   Rs 60,000
(+) 8% interest due for five month        =   Rs.2,000  (60,000 X 8% X 5/12)
Closing balance of investment             =   Rs.62,000
Amount credited to I&E A/c = Rs.2,000 + Rs.1,000 = Rs.3,000.
Hence, the correct option is 2.
