According to ques, number of shares

    \[=\text{ }560\]

Face value of each share

    \[=\text{ }Rs\text{ }25\]

 

Rate of dividend

    \[=\text{ }9%\text{ }per\text{ }annum\]

Total face value of 560 shares

    \[=\text{ }25\text{ }\times \text{ }560\]

    \[=\text{ }Rs\text{ }14000\]

(i) Amount of dividend

    \[=\text{ }14000\text{ }\times \text{ }\left( 9/100 \right)\]

    \[=\text{ }Rs\text{ }1260\]

(ii) Market value of each share

    \[~=\text{ }Rs\text{ }30\]

Total investment

    \[=\text{ }30\text{ }\times \text{ }560\]

    \[=\text{ }Rs\text{ }16800\]

Hence, percentage of interest on his investment

    \[=\text{ }\left( 1200\text{ }\times \text{ }100 \right)/\text{ }16800\]

 

    \[=\text{ }7.5%\]
