Question 17 Shares and Dividends Exercise 3

A man invests Rs 8800 on buying shares of face value of rupees hundred each at a premium of 10%. If he earns Rs 1200 at the end of year as dividend, find:

(i) The number of shares he has in this company

(ii) The dividend percentage per share.

Answer:

Given investment = Rs 8800

Face value of each share = Rs 100

Market value of each share = 100 + 10 = Rs 110

Total income = Rs 1200

Therefore total face value = (8800 × 100)/ 110

= Rs 8000

(i) Number of shares = 8000/100

= 80

(ii) Rate of dividend = (1200 × 100)/ 8000

= 15%
