Solution

Nominal value of 1 share = Rs. 100
Market value of 1 share = Rs. 100 + 40% of Rs. 100
= Rs. 100 + Rs. 40 = Rs. 140
No. of shares purchased = 1800
Nominal value of 1800 shares = 1800 × 100 = Rs. 1,80,000
Market value of 1800 shares = 1800 × 140 = Rs. 2,52,000

Dividend%= 15%
Dividend = 15% of Rs. 1,80,000
= 15 over 100 × 𝑅𝑠. 1,80,000 = 𝑅𝑠. 27,000

∴ Return % = Income over Investment × 100%
= Error converting from MathML to accessible text. × 100% = 10.7% = 11%
