Q no. 27, exercise 3, ML Publication, share and dividends
Given market value of each share = Rs 80.
Face value of each share =Rs 50
Interest on investment = 4%
Dividend on Rs 80 = (80∗4)/100 = 32/10.
Percent dividend = (dividend/face value of each share)*100
(32/10)∗(100/50) = 64/10 = 6.4%
Number of share = 200
Face value of 200 shares = 200∗50 = Rs 10,000
Dividend = Rs 10,000∗(6.4/100) = Rs 640.
