Question:

A company pays a dividend of 15% on its ten- rupee shares from which it deducts tax at the rate of 22%. Find the annual income of a man who owns one thousand shares of this company.

Options:

₹1470

₹1370

₹1170

₹1270

Correct Answer:

₹1170

Explanation:

The correct answer is option (3) : ₹1170

Dividend on one share $₹10=₹\left(\frac{15}{100}×10\right)$

$=₹1.5$

Dividend on 1000 shares of $₹10 = ₹(1000×1.5)$ $=₹1500

Income tax deducted = 22% of 1500

$=\frac{22×1500}{100}=₹330$

∴ Annual income $=₹1500-₹330$ $=₹1170$
