1. A man buys 75, Rs 100 shares paying 9 percent dividend. He buys shares at such a price that he gets 12 percent of his money. At what price did he buy the shares?

Solution:

Given,

Nominal value of 1 share = Rs100

So, the nominal value of 75 shares = 100 x 75 = Rs 7,500

And, Dividend % = 9 %

Thus, dividend = 9 % of Rs 7,500

= 9/100 x Rs 7,500 = Rs 675

Let’s consider the market price of 1 share = Rs y

Then the market price of 75 shares = Rs 75y

And, Profit % on investment = 12%

12% of 75y = Rs 657

12/100 x 75y = Rs 657

y = Rs 75

Therefore, the price of his shares is Rs 75 each

2. By purchasing Rs 25 gas shares for Rs 40 each, a man gets 4 percent profit on his investment. What rate percent is the company paying? What is his dividend if he buys 60 shares?

Solution:

Given,

Nominal value of 1 share = Rs25

Market value of 1 share = Rs40

And, the profit% on investment = 4%

Then profit on 1 share = 4% of Rs 40 = Rs 1.60

Thus,

Dividend % = 1.60/25 x 100 = 6.4%

Next,

If the number of shares purchased = 60

Then, the dividend on 60 shares = 60 x Rs 1.60 = Rs 96

3. Hundred rupee shares of a company are available in the market at a premium of Rs 20. Find the rate of dividend given by the company, when a man’s return on his investment is 15%.

Solution:

Given,

Nominal value of 1 share = Rs 100

And the market value of 1 share = Rs100 + Rs 20 = Rs120 (as the premium is Rs 20)

Also given, the profit % on investment of 1 share = 15%

Then profit = 15% of Rs 120 = Rs 18

Therefore,

Dividend % = 18/100 x 100 = 18% 

4. Rs 50 shares of a company are quoted at a discount of 10%. Find the rate of dividend given by the company, the return on the investment on these shares being 20 percent.

Solution:

Given,

Nominal value of 1 share = Rs 50

Discount on each share = 10 %

So, the market value of 1 share = Rs50 – 10% of Rs50

= Rs 50 – Rs 5 = Rs 45

Also given, Profit % on investment = 20%

Then the profit on 1 share = 20% of Rs 45 = Rs 9

Therefore,

Dividend % = 9/50 x 100 = 18 %

 

5. A company declares 8 percent dividend to the shareholders. If a man receives Rs 2,840 as his dividend, find the nominal value of his shares.

Solution:

Given,

Dividend % = 8 %

And, the dividend is Rs 2,840

Let the nominal value of shares be Rs y

Then,

8% of y = Rs 2,840

(8/100) x y = Rs 2,840

y = Rs 35,500

Thus, the nominal value of the man’s share is Rs 35,500

6. How much should a man invest in Rs 100 shares selling at Rs 110 to obtain an annual income of Rs 1,680, if the dividend declared is 12%?

Solution:

From the question,

Nominal value of 1 share = Rs100

And, the market value of 1 share = Rs110

Let the number of shares purchased = n

Then the nominal value of n shares = Rs (100n)

Dividend % = 12%

Given that the dividend = Rs1,680

12 % of 100n = Rs 1,680

12/100 x 100n = Rs 1680

Concise Selina Solutions Class 10 Maths Chapter 3 ex. 3(B) - 1

So, the market value of 140 shares = 140 x 110 = Rs 15,400

Therefore the investment of the man should be Rs 15,400

7. A company declares a dividend of 11.2% to all its share-holders. If its Rs 60 share is available in the market at a premium of 25%, how much should Rakesh invest, in buying the shares of this company, in order to have an annual income of Rs 1,680?

Solution:

Given,

Nominal value of 1 share = Rs60

Market value of 1 share = Rs 60 + 25% of Rs 60

= Rs 60+ Rs 15= Rs 75

Let the number of shares purchased be n

Then, the nominal value of n shares = Rs (60n)

Dividend % = 11.2%

Given that the dividend = Rs 1,680

So, 11.2% of 60n = Rs 1,680

11.2/100 x 60n = Rs 1,680

Concise Selina Solutions Class 10 Maths Chapter 3 ex. 3(B) - 2

Then, the market value of 250 shares will be = 250 x 75 = Rs 18,750

Therefore, the investment of Rakesh should be Rs 18,750

8. A man buys 400, twenty-rupee shares at a premium of Rs 4 each and receives a dividend of 12%. Find:

(i) the amount invested by him.

(ii) his total income from the shares.

(iii) percentage return on his money.

Solution:

Given,

The nominal value of 1 share = Rs 20

Market value of 1 share = Rs 20 + Rs 4 = Rs 24

No. of shares purchased = 400

Nominal value of 400 shares = 400 x 20 = Rs 8,000

(i) Market value of 400 shares = 400 x 24 = Rs 9,600

(ii) Dividend% = 12%

Dividend = 12% of Rs 8,000

= 12/100 x Rs 8,000 = Rs 960

Thus, the total income from the shares is Rs 960

 

(iii) Percentage return on his money is

Return % = income/investment x 100

= (960/9600) x 100 = 10%

9. A man buys 400, twenty-rupee shares at a discount of 20% and receives a return of 12% on his money. Calculate:

(i) the amount invested by him.

(ii) the rate of dividend paid by the company.

Solution:

Given,

The nominal value of 1 share = Rs 20

Market value of 1 share = Rs20 – (20% of Rs 20)

= Rs 20 – Rs 4 = Rs 16

Number of shares purchased = 400

Nominal value of 400 shares = 400 x 20 = Rs 8,000

(i) Market value of 400 shares = 400 x 16 = Rs 6,400 

(ii) Return% = 12%

Income = 12% of Rs 6,400

= 12/100 x Rs 6,400 = Rs 768

And,

(iii) The rate of dividend is

Dividend % = (income/ nominal value) x 100

= (768/ 8000) x 100 = 9.6 %

10. A company, with 10,000 shares of Rs 100 each, declares an annual dividend of 5%.

(i) What is the total amount of dividend paid by the company?

(ii) What should be the annual income of a man who has 72 shares in the company?

(iii) If he received only 4% of his investment, find the price he paid for each share.

Solution:

Given,

Nominal value of 1 share = Rs100

Then, nominal value of 10,000 shares =10,000 x Rs 100= Rs 10,00,000

(i) Dividend %= 5%

Dividend = 5% of Rs 10,00,000

= 5/100 x Rs 10,00,000 = Rs 50,000

Thus, a dividend amount of Rs 50,000 is paid by the company.

 

(ii) Nominal value of 72 shares = Rs100 x 72 = Rs7,200

Dividend = 5% of Rs7,200

= 5/100 x Rs 7,200 = Rs 360

Thus, the annual income of the man is Rs 360

(iii) Let’s consider the market value of 1 share = Rs y

Then market value of 10,000 shares = Rs (10,000y)

And the return% = 4%

So, 4% of Rs (10,000y) = Rs 50,000

= 4/100 x 10,000y = Rs 50,000

y = Rs 125

Thus, the price for each share is Rs 125
