Question:

The percent income of a year on 6% debentures of face value of ₹100 available in the market for ₹200 is :

Options:

3%

4%

5%

6%

Correct Answer:

3%

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → 3%

The annual income is,

Annual income = Coupon rate × Face value

$=\frac{6}{100}×100=6$

Now,

Yield = $\left(\frac{Annual\, income}{Market\,Price}\right)×100$

$=\frac{6}{200}×100=3\%$
