(i) the number of shares he has in the company.
(ii) the dividend percent per share.
Solution:
Total investment = ₹ 8,800
Nominal value of 1 share = ₹ 100
Market value of 1 share = ₹ 110
∴ No of shares purchased = $$\frac { 8800 }{ 110 }$$ = 80
Nominal value of 80 shares = 80 × 100= ₹ 8,000
Let dividend% = y%
then y% of ₹ 8,000 = ₹ 1,200
⇒ $$\frac { y }{ 100 }$$ × 8,000 = 1,200
⇒ y = 15%

Question 14.
A man invests ₹ 1,680 in buying shares of nominal value ₹ 24 and selling at 12% premium. The dividend on the shares is 15% per annum. Calculate:
(i) the number of shares he buys;

Solution:
Nominal value of 1 share = ₹ 24
Market value of 1 share = ₹ 24+ 12% of ₹ 24
= ₹ 24+ ₹ 2.88= ₹ 26.88
Total investment = ₹ 1,680
∴ No of shares purchased = $$\frac { 1680 }{ 26.88 }$$ = 62.5
Nominal value of 62.5 shares = 62.5 x 24= ₹ 1,500
Dividend = 15% of ₹ 1,500
= $$\frac { 15 }{ 100 }$$ × 1,500 = ₹ 225

Question 15.
By investing ₹ 7,500 in a company paying 10 percent dividend, an annual income of ₹ 500 is received. What price is paid for each of ₹ 100 share ?
Solution:
Total investment = ₹ 7,500
Nominal value of 1 share = ₹ 100
No. of shares purchased = y
Nominal value of y shares = 100 x y = ₹ (100y)
Dividend% = 10%
Dividend = ₹ 500

Question 1.
A man buys 75, ₹ 100 shares of a company which pays 9 percent dividend. He buys shares at such a price that he gets 12 percent of his money. At what price did he buy the shares ?
Solution:

Question 2.
By purchasing ₹ 25 gas shares for ₹ 40 each, a man gets 4 percent profit on his investment. What rate percent is the company paying? What is his dividend if he buys 60 shares?
Solution:
Nominal value of 1 share = ₹ 25
Market value of 1 share = ₹ 40
Profit% on investment = 4%
Then profit on 1 share = 4% of ₹ 40= ₹ 1.60
∴ Dividend% = $$\frac { 1.60 }{ 25 }$$ × 100% = 6.4%
No. of shares purchased= 60
Then dividend on 60 shares = 60 × ₹ 1.60 = ₹ 96

Question 3.
Hundred rupee shares of a company are available in the market at a premium of ₹ 20. Find the rate of dividend given by the company, when a man’s return on his investment is 15%.
Solution:
Nominal value of 1 share = ₹ 100
Market value of 1 share = ₹ 100 + ₹ 20 = ₹ 120
Profit% on investment of 1 share =15%
Then profit= 15% of ₹ 120 = ₹ 18
∴ Dividend% = $$\frac { 18 }{ 100 }$$ × 100% = 18%

Question 4.
₹ 50 shares of a company are quoted at a discount of 10%. Find the rate of dividend given by the company, the return on the investment on these shares being 20 percent.
Solution:
Nominal value of 1 share = ₹ 50
Market value of 1 share = ₹ 50 – 10% of ₹ 50
= ₹ 50 – ₹ 5 = ₹ 45
Profit % on investment = 20%
Then profit on 1 share = 20% of ₹ 45 = ₹ 9
∴ Dividend% = $$\frac { 9 }{ 50 }$$ × 100% = 18%

Question 5.
A company declares 8 percent dividend to the share holders. If a man receives ₹ 2,840 as his dividend, find the nominal value of his shares.
Solution:
Dividend% = 8%
Dividend = ₹ 2,840
Let nominal value of shares = ₹ y
then 8% of y = ₹ 2,840
⇒ $$\frac { 8 }{ 100 }$$ × y = ₹ 2,840
⇒ y = ₹ 35000

Question 6.
How much should a man invest in ₹ 100 shares selling at ₹ 110 to obtain an annual income of ₹ 1,680, if the dividend declared is 12%?
Solution:
Nominal value of 1 share = ₹ 100
Market value of 1 share = ₹ 110
Let no. of shares purchased = n
Then nominal value of n shares = ₹ (100n)
Dividend% = 12%
Dividend = ₹ 1,680

Then market value of 140 shares= 140 × 110 = ₹ 15,400

Question 7.
A company declares a dividend of 11.2% to all its share-holders. If its ₹ 60 share is available in the market at a premium of 25%, how much should Rakesh invest, in buying the shares of this company, in order to have an annual income of ₹ 1,680?
Solution:
Nominal value of 1 share = ₹ 60
Market value of 1 share = ₹ 60+ 25% of ₹ 60
= ₹ 60 + ₹ 15 = ₹ 75
Let no. of shares purchased = n
Then nominal value of n shares = ₹ (60n)
Dividend% = 11.2%
Dividend = ₹ 1,680

Then market value of 250 shares = 250 × 75 = ₹ 18,750

Question 8.
A man buys 400, twenty-rupee shares at a premium of ₹ 4 each and receives a dividend of 12%. Find:
(i) the amount invested by him.
(ii) his total income from the shares.

(i) the amount invested by him.
(ii) the rate of dividend paid by the company.
Solution:
Nominal value of 1 share = ₹ 20
Market value of 1 share = ₹ 20 – 20% of ₹ 20
= ₹ 20 – ₹ 4 = ₹ 16
No. of shares purchased = 400
Nominal value of 400 shares = 400 x 20 = ₹ 8,000
(i) Market value of 400 shares = 400 x 16 = ₹ 6,400
(ii) Return%= 12%
Income = 12% of ₹ 6,400

Question 10.
A company, with 10,000 shares of ₹ 100 each, declares an annual dividend of 5%.
(i) What is the total amount of dividend paid by the company?
(ii) What should be the annual income of a man who has 72 shares in the company?
(iii) If he received only 4% of his investment, find the price he paid for each share.
Solution:
Nominal value of 1 share = ₹ 100
Nominal value of 10,000 shares = 10,000 x ₹ 100 = ₹ 10,00,000
(i) Dividend% = 5%
Dividend = 5% of ₹ 10,00,000
= $$\frac { 5 }{ 100 }$$ × 10,00,000 = ₹ 50,000
(ii) Nominal value of 72 shares= ₹ 100 x 72 = ₹ 7,200
Dividend = 5% of ₹ 7,200
= $$\frac { 5 }{ 100 }$$ × 7,200 = ₹ 360
(iii) Let market value of 1 share = ₹ y
Then market value of 10,000 shares = ₹ (10,000y)
Return% = 4%
then 4% of ₹ 10,000y = ₹ 50,000
⇒ $$\frac { 4 }{ 100 }$$ × 10,000y = ₹ 50,000
⇒ y = ₹ 125

Question 11.

Solution:
Nominal value of 1 share = ₹ 100
Market value of 1 share = ₹ 100 + 40% of ₹ 100
= ₹ 100 + ₹ 40 = ₹ 140
No. of shares purchased = 1800
Nominal value of 1800 shares = 1800 × 100 = ₹ 1,80,000
Market value of 1800 shares= 1800 × 140 = ₹ 2,52,000
(i)Dividend% = 15%

(i) the sale proceeds
(ii) the number of shares he buys and
(iii) his annual dividend from the shares.
Solution:
1st case
Nominal value of 1 share = ₹ 100
Nominal value of 60 shares = ₹ 100 × 60= ₹ 6,000
Market value of 1 share = ₹ 100 + 60% of ₹ 100
= ₹ 100+ ₹ 60 = ₹ 160
Market value of 60 shares = ₹ 160 × 60 = ₹ 9,600 Ans.
(ii) Nominal value of 1 share = ₹ 50
Market value of 1 share= ₹ 50 – 4% of ₹ 50
= ₹ 50 – ₹ 2 = ₹ 48
No of shares purchased = $$\frac { 9,600 }{ 48 }$$ = 200 shares
(iii) Nominal value of 200 shares = ₹ 50 × 200 = ₹ 10,000
Dividend% = 18%

Question 14.
A company with 10,000 shares of nominal value ₹ 100 declares an annual dividend of 8% to the share-holders.
(i) Calculate the total amount of dividend paid by the company.
(ii) Ramesh had bought 90 shares of the company at ₹ 150 per share. Calculate the dividend he receives and the percentage of return on his investment.
Solution:
(i) Nominal value of 1 share = ₹ 100
Nominal value of 10,000 shares = ₹ 100 × 10,000 = ₹ 10,00,000
Dividend% = 8%
Dividend = 8% of ₹ 10,00,000
= $$\frac { 8 }{ 100 }$$ × 10,00,000 = ₹ 80,000
(ii) Market value of 90 shares = ₹ 150 × 90 = ₹ 13,500
Nominal value of 90 shares = ₹ 100 × 90 = ₹ 9,000
Dividend = 8% of ₹ 9,000
= $$\frac { 8 }{ 100 }$$ × 9,000 = ₹ 720

Question 15.
Which is the better investment :
16% ₹ 100 shares at 80 or 20% ₹ 100 shares at 120?
Solution:
1st case
16% of ₹ 100 shares at 80 means;
Market value of 1 share = ₹ 80
Nominal value of 1 share = ₹ 100
Dividend = 16%
Income on ₹ 80= 16% of ₹ 100 = ₹ 16
Income on ₹ 1 = $$\frac { 16 }{ 80 }$$ = ₹ 0.20
2nd case
20% of ₹ 100 shares at 120 means;
Market value of 1 share = ₹ 120
Nominal value of 1 share = ₹ 100
Dividend = 20%
Income on ₹ 120 = 20% of ₹ 100= ₹ 20
Income on ₹ 1 = $$\frac { 20 }{ 120 }$$ = ₹ 0.17
Then 16% ₹ 100 shares at 80 is better investment.

Question 16.
A man has a choice to invest in hundred-rupee shares of two firms at ₹ 120 or at ₹ 132. The first firm pays a dividend of 5% per annum and the second firm pays a dividend of 6% per annum. Find:
(i) which company is giving a better return.
(ii) if a man invests ₹ 26,400 with each firm, how much will be the difference between the annual returns from the two firms.
Solution:
(i) 1st firm
Market value of 1 share = ₹ 120
Nominal value of 1 share = ₹ 100
Dividend = 5%
Income on ₹ 120 = 5% of ₹ 100 = ₹ 5
Income on ₹ 1 = $$\frac { 5 }{ 120 }$$ = ₹ 0.041
2nd firm
Market value of 1 share = ₹ 132
Nominal value of 1 share = ₹ 100
Dividend = 6%
Income on ₹ 132 = 6% of ₹ 100 = ₹ 6
Income on ₹ 1 = $$\frac { 6 }{ 132 }$$ = ₹ 0.045
Then investment in second company is giving better return.
(ii) Income on investment of ₹ 26,400 in fi₹ t firm
= $$\frac { 5 }{ 120 }$$ × 26,400 = ₹ 1,100
Income on investment of ₹ 26,400 in second firm
= $$\frac { 6 }{ 132 }$$ × 26,400 = ₹ 1,200
∴ Difference between both returns = ₹ 1,200 – ₹ 1,100 = ₹ 100

Question 17.
A man bought 360, ten-rupee shares of a company, paying 12% per annum. He sold the shares when their price rose to ₹ 21 per share and invested the proceeds in five-rupee shares paying 4.5 percent per annum at ₹ 3.50 per share. Find the annual change in his income.
Solution:
1st case
Nominal value of 1 share = ₹ 10
Nominal value of 360 shares = ₹ 10 × 360 = ₹ 3,600
Market value of 1 share = ₹ 21
Market value of 360 shares = ₹ 21 × 360 = ₹ 7,560
Dividend% = 12%
Dividend = 12% of ₹ 3,600
= $$\frac { 12 }{ 100 }$$ × 3,600 = ₹ 432
2nd case
Nominal value of 1 share= ₹ 5
Market value of 1 share= ₹ 3.50
∴ No of shares purchased = $$\frac { 7,560 }{ 3.50 }$$ = 2,160 shares
Nominal value of 2160 shares=₹ 5 × 2160= ₹ 10,800
Dividend%= 4.5%
Dividend= 4.5% of ₹ 10,800
= $$\frac { 4.5 }{ 132 }$$ × 10,800 = ₹ 486
Annual change in income = ₹ 486 – ₹ 432
= ₹ 54 increase

Question 18.
A man sold 400 (₹ 20) shares of a company, paying 5% at ₹ 18 and invested the proceeds in (₹ 10) shares of another company paying 7% at ₹ 12. How many (₹ 10) shares did he buy and what was the change in his income?
Solution:
1st case
Nominal value of 1 share = ₹ 20
Nominal value of 400 shares = ₹ 20 x 400= ₹ 8,000
Market value of 1 share = ₹ 18
Market value of 400 shares = ₹ 18 x 400= ₹ 7,200
Dividend% = 5%
Dividend = 5% of ₹ 8,000
= $$\frac { 5 }{ 100 }$$ × 8,000 = ₹ 400
2nd case
Nominal value of 1 share = ₹ 10
Market value of 1 share = ₹ 12
∴ No of shares purchased = $$\frac { 7,200 }{ 12 }$$ = 600 shares
Nominal value of 600 shares = ₹ 10 x 600 = ₹ 6,000
Dividend% = 7%
Dividend = 7% of ₹ 6,000
= $$\frac { 7 }{ 100 }$$ × 6,000 = ₹ 420
Annual change in income = ₹ 420 – ₹ 400
= ₹ 20 increase

Question 19.
Two brothers A and B invest ₹ 16,000 each in buying shares of two companies. A buys 3% hundred-rupee shares at 80 and B buys ten-rupee shares at par. If they both receive equal dividend at the end of the year, find the rate per cent of the dividend received by B.
Solution:
For A
Total investment = ₹ 16,000
Nominal value of 1 share = ₹ 100
Market value of 1 share = ₹ 80
∴ No of shares purchased = $$\frac { 16,000 }{ 80 }$$ = 200 shares
Nominal value of 200 shares = ₹ 100 × 200 = ₹ 20,000
Dividend% = 3%
Dividend = 3% of ₹ 20,000
= $$\frac { 3 }{ 100 }$$ × 20,000 = ₹ 600
For B
Total investment= ₹ 16,000
Nominal value of 1 share= ₹ 10
Market value of 1 share= ₹ 10
∴ No of shares purchased = $$\frac { 16,000 }{ 10 }$$ = 1600 shares
Nominal value of 1600shares= 10 × 1600= ₹ 16,000
Dividend received by B = Dividend received by A = ₹ 600

Question 20.
A man invests ₹ 20,020 in buying shares of nominal value ₹ 26 at 10% premium. The dividend on the shares is 15% per annum. Calculate :
(i) the number of shares he buys.
(ii) the dividend he receives annually.
(iii) the rate of interest he gets on his money.
Solution:
Total investment = ₹ 20,020
Nominal value of 1 share = ₹ 26
Market value of 1 share = ₹ 26+ 10% of ₹ 26
= ₹ 26+ ₹ 2.60 = ₹ 28.60
∴ No of shares purchased = $$\frac { 20,020 }{ 28.60 }$$ = 700 shares
Nominal value of 700 shares= ₹ 26 x 700 = ₹ 18,200
Dividend% = 15%
Dividend = 15% of ₹ 18,200
= $$\frac { 15 }{ 100 }$$ × 18,200 = ₹ 2,730

Market value of 1 share = ₹ 13
Dividend% = 5%
Dividend = 5% of ₹ 10 = ₹ 0.50

2nd firm
Nominal value of 1 share = ₹ 10
Market value of 1 share = ₹ 16
Dividend% = 6%
Dividend = 6% of ₹ 10 = ₹ 0.60

Question 10.
A man invested ₹ 45,000 in 15% Rs100shares quoted at ₹ 125. When the market value of these shares rose to ₹ 140, he sold some shares, just enough to raise ₹ 8,400. Calculate:
(i) the number of shares he still holds;
(ii) the dividend due to him on these remaining shares.
Solution:
(i) Total investment = ₹ 45,000
Market value of 1 share = ₹ 125
∴ No of shares purchased = $$\frac { 45,000 }{ 125 }$$ = 360 shares
Nominal value of 360 shares = ₹ 100 × 360= ₹ 36,000
Let no. of shares sold = n
Then sale price of 1 share = ₹ 140
Total sale price of n shares = ₹ 8,400
Then n = $$\frac { 8,400 }{ 140 }$$ = 60 shares
The no. of shares he still holds = 360 – 60 = 300
(ii) Nominal value of 300 shares = ₹ 100 × 300 = ₹ 30,000
Dividend% = 15%
Dividend = 15% of ₹ 30,000
= $$\frac { 15 }{ 100 }$$ × 30,000 = ₹ 4,500

Question 11.
Mr.Tiwari. invested ₹ 29,040 in 15% Rs100 shares quoted at a premium of 20%. Calculate:
(i) the number of shares bought by Mr. Tiwari.
(ii) Mr. Tiwari’s income from the investment.

Solution:
Total investment = ₹ 29,040
Nominal value of 1 share = ₹ 100
Market value of 1 share = ₹ 100+ 20% of ₹ 100
= ₹ 100 + ₹ 20 = ₹ 120
∴ No of shares purchased = $$\frac { 29,040 }{ 120 }$$ = 242 shares
Nominal value of 242 shares = ₹ 100 x 242 = ₹ 24,200
Dividend% = 15%
Dividend = 15% of ₹ 24,200
= $$\frac { 15 }{ 100 }$$ × 24,200 = ₹ 3,630

(i) the sale proceeds
(ii) the number of ₹ 125 shares he buys.
(iii) the change in his annual income from dividend.
Solution:
1st case
Total investment = ₹ 4,500
Market value of 1 share = ₹ 15
∴ No of shares purchased = $$\frac { 4,500 }{ 15 }$$ = 300 shares
Nominal value of 1 share = ₹ 10
Nominal value of 300 shares = ₹ 10 × 300= ₹ 3,000
Dividend = 8% of ₹ 3,000
= $$\frac { 8 }{ 100 }$$ × 3,000 = ₹ 240
Sale price of 1 share = ₹ 30
Total sale price= ₹ 30 × 300= ₹ 9,000
(ii) new market price of 1 share= ₹ 125
∴ No of shares purchased = $$\frac { 9,000 }{ 125 }$$ = 72 shares
(iii) New nominal value of 1 share= ₹ 100
New nominal value of 72 shares = ₹ 100 × 72 = ₹ 7,200
Dividend% = 12%
New dividend = 12% of ₹ 7,200
= $$\frac { 12 }{ 100 }$$ × 7,200 = ₹ 864
Change in annual income = ₹ 864 – ₹ 240 = ₹ 624

Question 16.
Mr.Parekh invested ₹ 52,000 on ₹ 100 shares at a discount of ₹ 20 paying 8% dividend. At the end of one year he sells the shares at a premium of ₹ 20. Find:
(i) The annual dividend
(ii) The profit earned including his dividend.
Solution:
Rate of dividend = 8%
Investment = ₹ 52000
Market Rate = ₹ 100 – 20 = ₹ 80
No. of shares purchased = $$\frac { 52000 }{ 80 }$$ = 650
(i) Annual dividend = 650 × 8 = ₹ 5200
(ii) On selling, market rate = ₹ 100+20 = ₹ 120
⇒ Sale price = 650 × 120 = ₹ 78000
Profit = ₹ 78000 – ₹ 52000 = ₹ 26000
⇒ Total gain = 26000 + 5200 = ₹ 31200
