Solution

(i) Nominal value of 1 share = Rs. 100
Nominal value of 10,000 shares = Rs. 100 × 10,000 = Rs. 10,00,000
Dividend% = 8%
Dividend = 8% of Rs. 10,00,000 = 8 over 100 × 𝑅𝑠. 10,00,000 = 𝑅𝑠. 80,000

(ii) Market value of 90 shares = Rs. 150 × 90 = Rs. 13,500
Nominal value of 90 shares = Rs. 100 × 90 = Rs. 9,000
Dividend = 8% of Rs. 9,000
= 8 over 100 × 𝑅𝑠. 9,000 = 𝑅𝑠. 720

Return% = income over investment × 100%
= Error converting from MathML to accessible text. × 100%
= 5.33 %.
