Working Notes:
(1) Discount charged by the bank = Amount of Bill × Period × Rate of Discount
Discount Charged by the Bank = 30000 × (3/12) × (10/100) = Rs. 750
[Note: Period of the bill is for 4 months but it is discounted one month after, therefore the period of the bill is to be considered for 3 months only.]
(2) Amount of New Bill = Amount of Dishonoured bill + Interest on balance Amount – Part Payment.

Amount of New Bill = 30000 + 500 – 10500 = Rs. 20,000.
