Q no. 6, exercise 5, ML Publication, share and dividends
Nominal value of 1 share = Rs. 100
Market value of 1 share = Rs. 100 + 40% of Rs. 100
= Rs. 100 + Rs. 40
= Rs. 140 No. of shares purchased = 1800
Nominal value of 1800 shares = 1800 × 100
= Rs. 1,80,000
Market value of 1800 shares = 1800 × 140
= Rs. 2,52,000
(i) Dividend%= 15%
Dividend = 15% of Rs. 1,80,000
= (15/100) × Rs.1,80,000=.27,000
(ii) return%=(income/investment)*100
=(27000/252000)*100=10.7%=11% approximately
