Mr. Parekh invested Rs 52,000 on Rs 100 shares at a discount of Rs 20 paying 8% dividend. At the end of year he sells the shares at a premium of Rs 20. Find :
(i) the annual dividend.
(ii) the profit earned including his dividend.
No. of shares: =52,00080
= 650
Annual dividend: =650×100×0.08
= 5,200
Profit from sale plus dividend:
= 650(120 - 80) + 5,200
= 650(40) + 5,200
= 26,000 + 5,200
= 31,200
Answer: dividend, Rs. 5,200; gain from sale of shares, Rs. 26,000; Total, Rs. 31,200
