Mrs. Sharma buys 85 shares (par value Rs. 100) at Rs. 150 each.(i) If the dividend is 6.5%, what will be her annual income?(ii) If she wants to increase her income by Rs. 260; how much more should she invest?

Answer»

Par value of 85 shares = Rs. 100 × 85 = Rs. 8,500

Market value of 85 shares = Rs. 150 × 85 = Rs. 12,750

(i) Dividend% = 6.5%

Dividend = 6.5% of Rs. 8,500

= (6.5/100) × 8,500 = Rs. 552.50 Ans

(ii) Required income = Rs. 552.50 + Rs. 260 = Rs. 812.50

If income is Rs. 552.50,then investment is Rs. 12,750

If income is Rs. 812.50, then investment is = (12,750/552.50) ×812.50

= Rs. 18,750

More investment required = Rs. 18,750 – Rs. 12,750

= Rs. 6,000 Ans
