Q no. 13, exercise 3, ML Publication, share and dividends
Since we have given that
Amount invested = Rs. 45000
Cost of share = Rs. 125
So, Number of shares purchased is given by
45000/125=360
Amount get = Rs. 8400
Cost of share = Rs. 140
So, Number of share sold is given by
8400/140=60
Number of shares left = 360 – 60 = 300
Dividend due to him on remaining shares is given by
(300*15/100)100=4500
Hence, the dividend is due to him is Rs. 4500
