ICSE Class 10 Answered
Ms. Arushi invested Rs.8000 in 7% Rs.100 shares at Rs.80. After a year she sold these shares at Rs.75 each and invested the proceed (including his dividend) in 18%, Rs.25 shares at Rs.41. Find:
(i) Her dividend for the first year
(ii) Her annual income in second year
For 1st year:
Investment = Rs. 8000
Par value = Rs. 100
Market value = Rs. 80
Rate of dividend = 7%
For 2nd year:
Selling price per share = Rs. 75
Par value = Rs. 25
Market value = Rs. 41
Rate of dividend = 18%
(i)
Dividend for the first year = Rs. 7 × 100 = Rs. 700
Sale Proceeds = Rs.75 × 100 = Rs.7500
Investment in the second year
= Rs. (7500 + 700)
= Rs.8200
(ii)
Number of shares purchased in the second year
Annual income in 2nd year = Rs. 4.50 × 200 = Rs. 900
