For the following investments, calculate the percentage income.(a) Rs 7,225 pays 12% when a Rs 100 share is available at 15% discount.(b) For Rs 7,168 man pays 15% when a Rs 80 share is available at 40% premium

Solution: –

According to given question-

Nominal value of each share = ₹ 100 is available at 15% discount

Therefore, Market value = (₹ 100 - 15 % of ₹ 100)

= ₹ (100 -15)

= ₹ 85

Number of shares purchased = 7,225/85

= ₹ 85

Hence, the face value of 85 shares = ₹ 100 × 85

 = ₹ 8,500

Dividend = 12%

Annual income = (12 × 8,500)/100

= ₹ 1,020

Therefore, percentage income = (1,020 × 100)/7,225

= 14.12%

(b) For Rs 7,168 man pays 15% when a Rs 80 share is available at 40% premium.

Solution: –

According to given question-

Nominal value of each share = ₹ 80 is available at 40% premium

Therefore, Market value = (₹ 80 + 40 % of ₹ 80)

= ₹ (80 + 32)

= ₹ 112

Number of shares purchased = 7,168/112

= ₹ 64

Hence, face value of 64 shares = ₹ 80 × 64

= ₹ 5,120

Dividend = 15%

Annual income = (15 × 5,120)/100

= ₹ 768

Therefore, percentage income = (768 × 100)/7,168

= 10.71%
