Q2: How much money will be required to buy 400, Rs.12.50 shares at a premium of Rs.1?
Face Value (FV) = Rs.12.50
Premium = Rs.1
Market Price (MP) = Rs.12.50 + Rs.1 = Rs.13.50
Number of shares = 400
Total Cost = 400 × 13.50 = Rs.5,400
Q3: How much money will be required to buy 250, Rs.15 shares at a discount of Rs.1.50?
Face Value (FV) = Rs.15
Discount = Rs.1.50
Market Price (MP) = Rs.15 - Rs.1.50 = Rs.13.50
Number of shares = 250
Total Cost = 250 × 13.50 = Rs.3,375
Q4: Find the annual income derived from 125, Rs.120 shares paying 5% dividend.
Face Value (FV) = Rs.120
Dividend Rate = 5%
Number of shares = 125
Annual Income per Share = (5/100) × Rs.120 = Rs.6
Total Annual Income = 125 × Rs.6 = Rs.750
Q5: A man invests Rs.3,072 in a company paying 5% per annum, when its Rs.10 share can be
bought for Rs.16 each.
Investment = Rs.3,072
Market Price (MP) = Rs.16
Face Value (FV) = Rs.10
Dividend Rate = 5%
Step 1: Number of shares bought = 3072 / 16 = 192 shares
Step 2: Annual Income per share = (5/100) × 10 = Rs.0.50
Total Income = 192 × 0.50 = Rs.96
Step 3: Yield % = (Income / Investment) × 100 = (96 / 3072) × 100 = 3.125%
