Solution

(i) Here, N.V of the share = ₹26, Premium = 10%, Let the no. of shares be x

Market value of one share = ₹26 + 10% of ₹26 = ₹26 (1 + 10100)

= ₹26 × 1110 = ₹1435

Number of shares = Total InvestmentMarket Value of one share

x = 20020×5143=700 [1 Mark]

(ii) Dividend per share = 15% of ₹26 = 15100 × ₹26 = ₹3.90

Hence, dividend on 700 shares = ₹3.90 × 700 = ₹2730. [1 Mark]

(iii) Let the rate of interest be x%

We know, Rate of interest x M.V = Dividend % x N.V

x × 1435 = 15 % × 26

x100 = 15100 × 26 × 5143

Rate of interest = 15011 % [1 Mark]
