Question 25 Shares and Dividends Exercise 3

A man buys 400 ten-rupee shares at a premium of Rs. 2.50 on each share. If the rate of dividend is 8%, Find,

(i) his investment

(ii) dividend received

(iii) yield.

Answer:

Given No. of shares = 400

Face value of each share = Rs. 10

Market value of each share

= Rs. 10 + Rs. 2.50

= Rs. 12.50

Rate of dividend = 8%

Therefore, face value of 400 shares = 10 x 400 = Rs 4000

(i) Total investment = 12.50 x 400 = Rs 5000

(ii) Total dividend = 4000 x (8/100) = Rs 320

(iii) Yield percent = (320 x 100)/ 5000 = 32/5 = 6.4%
