Market value = ₹ 100 + ₹ 40100×100\dfrac{40}{100} \times 100 = ₹ 100 + ₹ 40 = ₹ 140.

Annual Dividend = No. of shares × Rate of div. × N.V. of 1 share

= 1800 × 15100×100\dfrac{15}{100} \times 100

= ₹ 27,000.

Investment = No. of shares × M.V. = 1800 × ₹ 140 = ₹ 2,52,000.

Return % = DividendInvestment×100=27000252000×100=\dfrac{\text{Dividend}}{\text{Investment}} \times 100 = \dfrac{27000}{252000} \times 100 = 10.71% ≈ 11%.

Hence, annual dividend = ₹ 27,000 and return % = 11%.
