Answer

(i) Market value of 1 share = ₹ 50 + ₹ 10 = ₹ 60.

∴ Market value of 320 shares = 320 × ₹ 60 = ₹ 19,200.

Hence, market value of 320 shares = ₹ 19,200.

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

= 320×12100×50320 × \dfrac{12}{100} \times 50

= ₹ 1,920.

His total annual income = ₹ 1,920.

(iii) Profit % = 192019200×100=1920001920\dfrac{1920}{19200} \times 100 = \dfrac{192000}{1920} = 10%.

Hence, profit % = 10%.
