Answer

Nominal Value per share = ₹25

Rate of Dividend = 9%

No. of shares owned = 560

(i)
Annual Dividend = No. of shares x Rate of Dividend x Nominal Value per share

=560×9100×25=1260= 560 \times \dfrac{9}{100} \times 25 \\[0.5em] = ₹1260

∴ The dividend that Ajay will get = ₹1260

(ii)
Market Value per share = ₹30

Total Investment = No. of shares x Market Value per share
= 560 x 30
= 16800

%Return=(Annual Inc.Investment×100)%=(126016800×100)%=(1260168)%=(152)%=712%\% \text{Return} = \Big(\dfrac{\text{Annual Inc.}}{\text{Investment}} \times 100\Big)\% \\[0.5em] = \Big(\dfrac{1260}{16800} \times 100\Big) \% \\[0.5em] = \Big(\dfrac{1260}{168} \Big) \% \\[0.5em] = \Big(\dfrac{15}{2} \Big) \% \\[0.5em] = \bold{7\frac{1}{2}\%}

∴ Rate of return on Ajay's investment = 7½%
