Answer

(i) Market value = ₹ 140

Investment = ₹ 11,200

No. of shares = InvestmentM.V.=11200140=80.\dfrac{\text{Investment}}{\text{M.V.}} = \dfrac{11200}{140} = 80.

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

= 80 × 6100×100\dfrac{6}{100} \times 100

= ₹ 480.

Hence, annual dividend = ₹ 480.

(ii) Return% = Annual dividendInvestment×100=48011200×100\dfrac{\text{Annual dividend}}{\text{Investment}} \times 100 = \dfrac{480}{11200} \times 100 = 4.29%

Hence, return % = 4.29%.
