Answer

(i) Market value of 1 share = ₹ 75 - ₹ 15 = ₹ 60.

∴ Market value of 120 shares = ₹ 60 × 120 = ₹ 7,200.

Hence, the market value of 120 shares = ₹ 7,200.

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

= 120×20100×75120 × \dfrac{20}{100} \times 75

= ₹ 1,800.

Hence, total annual income = ₹ 1,800.

(iii) Profit % = 18007200×100=1800007200\dfrac{1800}{7200} \times 100 = \dfrac{180000}{7200} = 25%.

Hence, profit % = 25%.
