Q no. 19, exercise 3, ML Publication, share and dividends
Investment=8000
Rate of dividend=8%
Face value=100
Premium=60
Market value=face value+premium
=100+60
=160
Market value=investment/number of shares
=> 160=8000/number of shares
=> Number of shares=8000/160
=> Number of shares=50
1. Income=number of shares×rate of dividend/100×face value
Income=50×8/100×100
Income=50×8
Income=400
2. Percent return=income/investment×100
Percent return=400×100/8000
Percent return=5%
