Question: 1
12500 shares, of par value of Rs.20 each, are purchased from Ram by Vijay at a price of Rs.25 each. Find out the amount required to purchase the shares. If Vijay further sells the shares at a premium of Rs. 11 each, then find out his gain in the transaction.
(A) Rs. 70000
(B) Rs.75000
(C) Rs. 80000
(D) Rs. 85000
Ans: B
Market value of a share = Rs.25
∴ Market value of 12500 shares = Rs(25 × 12500) = Rs.312500.
Thus, the amount required to purchase 12500 shares = Rs. 312500.
Then, Vijay sells these shares at a premium of Rs. 11 each. ∴ New market rate per shares = Rs.(20 + 11) = Rs.31.
∴ Selling price of these shares = Rs.(31 × 12500) = Rs.387500
∴ Gain = S.P. - C.P.
= Rs. (387500 – 312500) = Rs. 75000.
Question: 2
A company issued 50000 shares of par value Rs.10 each. If the total dividend declared by the company is Rs.62500, then find out the rate of dividend paid by the company.
(A) 12%
(B) $$12{1}/{2}$$%
(C) $$13{3}/{4}$$%
(D) $$8{1}/{2}$$%
Ans: B
Number of shares = 50000
Par value of a share = Rs.10
∴ Total par value of 5000 shares = Rs.500000
Total dividend = Rs.62500
∴ Rate of dividend paid by the company = $${{62500}/{500000} × 100}$$% = $$12{1}/{2}$$%.
Question: 3
The shares of a company of par value Rs.10 each, are available at 20% premium. Find out the amount paid by the buyer who wants to buy 2500 shares. What would be the gain of the buyer if he sells those shares at the rate of Rs.20 per share?
(A) Rs.20000
(B) Rs.22000
(C) Rs.25000
(D) Rs.40000
Ans: A
Par value of a share = Rs.10
Market value of a share = Rs.$$(10 × {120}/{100})$$ = Rs.12.
The amount to be paid by the buyer to purchase 2500
shares = Rs.(2500 × 12) = Rs.30000
Gain of the shareholder on selling one share = Rs.(20 - 12) = Rs.8.
∴ Gain from selling 2500 shares = Rs.(2500 × 8) = Rs.20000.
Question: 4
Find the income obtained by investing Rs. 90000 in $$7{1}/{2}%$$ stock at $$112{1}/{2}$$.
(A) Rs.6000
(B) Rs.6500
(C) Rs.7500
(D) Rs.8500
Ans: A
Here, market value of the stock = Rs.90000.
By investing Rs. $$112{1}/{2}$$, stock of par value Rs.100 is available.
∴ Income on Rs. $$112{1}/{2}$$ is $$7{1}/{2}$$%
Income on Rs. 90000 is Rs. $$({15/2} × {2/225} × 90000)$$ = Rs.6000.
Question: 5
Mr Lal invested Rs.92000 in $$9{1}/{2}$$% stock at 91 (Brokerage: Rs.1). Find out the annual income of Mr Lal from this investment.
(A) Rs.8000
(B) Rs.9000
(C) Rs.9500
(D) Rs.10500
Ans: C
Market value of Rs.100 stock = Rs.(91 + 1) = Rs.92.
Income on Rs.92 = Rs.$$9{1}/{2}$$
∴ Income on Rs. 92000 is Rs. $$({19/2} ×{19/92} × 92000)$$ = Rs.9500.
