Sachin invests Rs 8500 in 10%, Rs 100 shares at Rs 170. He sells the shares when the price of each share rises by Rs 30. He invests the proceeds in 12% Rs 100 shares at Rs 125. Find : (i) the sale proceeds. (ii) the number of Rs 125 shares he buys. (iii) the change in his annual income.

Answer»

Total investment = Rs 8500 

Market value of each share = Rs 170 

Number of shares purchased = 8500/170 = 50 

Dividend received = Rs (10/100) × 50 × 100 = Rs 500 

Now, market value of each share = Rs (170 + 30) = Rs 200

(i) Amount received on selling = Rs (50 x 200) = Rs 10000 

Market value of new shares = Rs 125 each 

(ii) Number of shares purchased = 10000/125 = 80 

Dividend received = (12/100) × 80 ×100 = Rs 960 

(iii) Change in income = Rs (960 – 500) = Rs 460
