Question

Shri. Batliwala sold shares of ₹ 30,350 and purchased shares of ₹ 69,650 in a day. He paid brokerage at the rate of 0.1% on sale and purchase. 18% GST was charged on brokerage. Find his total expenditure on brokerage and tax.

Sum

Solution 1

Brokerage = 0.1%
GST = 18%

At the time of selling shares:

Total sales amount of shares = ₹ 30,350

Brokerage = 0.1% of 30,350

`= 0.1/100 × 30,350`

= ₹ 30.35

GST = 18% of ₹ 30.35

`= 18/100 × 30.35`

= ₹ 5.463

For purchasing shares:

Total purchase amount of shares = ₹ 69,650

Brokerage = 0.1% of 69,650

`= 0.1/100 × 69,650`

= ₹ 69.65

GST = 18% of ₹ 69.65

`= 18/100 × 69.65`

= ₹ 12.537

∴ Total expenditure on brokerage and tax = Brokerage and tax on selling + Brokerage and tax on purchasing

= (30.35 + 5.463) + (69.65 + 12.537)

= Rs. 118

∴ Total expenditure on brokerage and tax is Rs. 118.

Solution 2

Total amount = Sale value + Purchase value

= 30350 + 69650

= ₹ 1,00,000

Rate of Brokerage = 0.1%

Brokerage = 0.1% of 1,00,000

`= 0.1/100 × 1,00,000`

= ₹ 100

Rate of GST = 18%

∴ GST = 18% of brokerage

`∴ "GST" = 18/100 × 100`

∴ GST = ₹ 18

Total expenditure on brokerage and tax = 100 + 18 = ₹ 118

∴ Total expenditure on brokerage and tax is ₹ 118.
