Sale ₹7,500: ₹500 in cash, ₹7,000 by a two-month bill dated 14 Feb 2017 (maturity = Feb 14 + 2 months = Apr 14 + 3 days grace = 17 Apr 2017). On 10 Apr 2017 (before maturity) the bill is cancelled: Alka pays ₹2,000 cash, ₹500 interest is charged, and a fresh two-month bill is drawn for the balance = ₹7,000 − ₹2,000 + ₹500 = ₹5,500 (maturity = Apr 10 + 2 months = Jun 10 + 3 days grace = 13 Jun 2017). The new bill is met on maturity. Each personal account totals ₹15,000.
