Question:

The annual yield percent on 12% debentures of face value ₹100 each and available at ₹75 each is :

Options:

18%

12%

16%

20%

Correct Answer:

16%

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → 16%

Face value = Rs. 100

Market price = Rs. 75

Interest = 12% of face value = Rs. 12

$\text{Yield Percentage} = \frac{\text{Interest}}{\text{Market Price}}×100$

$=\frac{12}{75}×100=0.16=16\%$
