In the notes in accrued income scheme, why is the purchaser receiving 6/12 of the interest of the security?
He bought it in Dec 1st.. shouldn’t that be Dec 1st to 30th June 2017 for the payment? 7/12 instead?

No – the payment is made every 6 months and will go to whoever owns the security at that date – that is why the value of the security is higher closer to the interest receipt date, which in turn is exactly the reason for the accrued income scheme!
