Question:

A man invests Rs 8000 in a company paying 8% dividend, when a share of face value of Rs 100 is selling at Rs 60 premium. What is his annual income ?

Options:

₹450

₹400

₹300

₹350

Correct Answer:

₹400

Explanation:

The correct answer is option (2) : ₹400

A share of 100 is sold a 260 premium

Its mean market value of 1 share = 160

No of shares bought $=\frac{₹8000}{₹160}=50$

Dividend on 1 share of $₹=₹8$

∴ Dividend on 50 large shares of $₹100= (50×8)$

$=₹400$
