How is the average price calculated in the equity (cash) segment?
Example:
- Buy 100 shares of ABC Ltd at ₹100 = ₹10,000
- Buy 50 shares of ABC Ltd at ₹120 = ₹6,000
- Average Price of ABC= ₹ (10,000 + 6,000) / 150 = ₹106.67
In Equity segment, average price is generally calculated based on FIFO "first-in, first-out," method.
