Solution

Step 1: Given Data:

Number of shares that the man sells, N1=100

Face value of 1st company, F1=25

Dividend of 1st company, D1=10%

Market value of 1st company, M1=50

Face value of 2nd company, F2=5

Dividend of 2nd company, D2=6%

Market value of 2nd company, M2=10

Step 2: Calculate the sale proceeds of man, after selling 100 shares at M1:

Saleproceeds=Numberofshares×Marketvalue

=N1×M1=100×50=5000

Step 3: Calculate the number of shares bought at M2:

Numberofshares=InvestmentMarketvalue

N2=SellingPriceM2=500010=500shares

Step 4: Calculate the annual income on 1st and 2nd company's shares, respectively:

Annualincome=Numberofshares×Facevalue×Rateofdividend100

A1=N1×F1×D1100=100×25×10100=250

A2=N2×F2×D2100=500×5×6100=150

Step 5: Calculate the difference between the annual incomes of both the companies:

Differenceinannualincomes=A1-A2

=250-150=100

Final Answer: The change in the man's income is 100.
