Answer

(i) Market value = ₹ 20 + ₹ 4 = ₹ 24.

Amount invested = 400 × ₹ 24 = ₹ 9,600

Hence, amount invested = ₹ 9,600.

(ii) Annual income = No. of shares × Rate of div. × N.V. of 1 share

= 400 × 12100×20\dfrac{12}{100} \times 20

= ₹ 960.

Hence, annual income = ₹ 960.

(iii) Percentage return = IncomeInvestment×100=9609600×100\dfrac{\text{Income}}{\text{Investment}} \times 100 = \dfrac{960}{9600} \times 100 = 10%.

Hence, percentage return = 10%.
