Class X Chapter 3 – Shares and Dividend Maths
______________________________________________________________________________

Solution 10:
Nominal value of 1 share = Rs. 75
Market value of 1 share = Rs. 75 – Rs. 15 = Rs. 60
Market value of 120 shares = 120 × 60 = Rs. 7,200
Nominal value of 120 shares = 120 × 75 = Rs. 9,000
Annual income = 20% of Rs. 9,000
20
= 100 ×9,000
= Rs. 1,800
1,800
Profit % = 7,200 ×100% = 25%

Question 11:
A man has 300, Rs. 50 shares of a company paying 20% dividend. Find his net income after
paying 3% income tax.
Solution 11:
Nominal value of 1 share = Rs. 50
Nominal value of 300 shares = 300 × 50 = Rs. 15,000
∴ Dividend = 20% of Rs. 15,000
20
= 100 ×15,000 = 𝑅𝑠. 3,000
∴ Income tax paid = 3% of Rs. 3,000

Nominal value of 1 share = Rs. 10
Nominal value of 1000 shares = 1000 × 10 = Rs. 10,000
∴ Dividend = 15 % of Rs. 10,000
15
= 100 ×10,000 = 𝑅𝑠. 1,500
∴ Income tax paid = 22 % of Rs. 1,500
22
= 100 ×1,500 = 𝑅𝑠. 330
His net income = Rs. 1,500 – Rs. 330 = Rs. 1,170 Ans.

Question 13:
A man invests Rs. 8,800 in buying shares of a company of face value of rupees hundred each at
a premium of 10%. If he earns Rs. 1,200 at the end of the year as dividend, find:
(i) the number of shares he has in the company.
(ii) the dividend percent per shares.
Solution 13:
Total investment = Rs. 8,800
Nominal value of 1 share = Rs. 100
Market value of 1 share = Rs. 110
8800
∴ No of shares purchased = 110 = 80
Nominal value of 80 shares = 80 × 100 = Rs. 8,000
Let dividend % = y %
Then y% of Rs. 8,000 = Rs. 1,200
𝑦
⟹ 100 ×8,000 = 𝑅𝑠. 1,200
⟹ y = 15%

Question 14:
A man invests Rs. 1,680 in buying shares of nominal value Rs. 24 and selling at 12% premium.
The dividend on the shares is 15% per annum. Calculate:
(i) the number of shares he buys;
(ii) the dividend he receives annually.
Solution 14:
Nominal value of 1 share = Rs. 24
Market value of 1 share= Rs24 + 12% of Rs. 24
= Rs. 24 + Rs. 2.88 = Rs. 26.88
Total investment = Rs1,680
1,680
∴ No of shares purchased = 26.88 = 62.5
Nominal value of 62.5 shares = 62.5 × 24 = Rs. 1,500
Dividend = 15% of Rs. 1,500
= Rs. 225

Question 15:
By investing Rs. 7,500 in a company paying 10 percent dividend, an annual income of Rs. 500
is received. What price is paid for each Rs. 100 shares?
Solution 15:
Total investment = Rs. 7,500
Nominal value of 1 share = Rs. 100
No. of shares purchased = y
Nominal value of y shares = 100 × y = Rs. (100y)
Dividend % = 10%
Class X Chapter 3 – Shares and Dividend Maths
______________________________________________________________________________

Dividend = Rs. 500

EXERCISE: 3 (B)

Question 1:
A man buys 75, Rs. 100 shares of a company which pays 9 per cent dividend. He buys shares at
such a price that he gets 12 per cent of his money. At what price did he buy the shares?
Solution 1:
Nominal value of 1share = Rs. 100
Nominal value of 75 shares = 100 × 75 = Rs. 7,500
Dividend % = 9 %
∴ Dividend = 9% of Rs. 7,500
9
= 100 ×Rs. 7,500 = Rs. 675
Let market price of 1 share = Rs. y
Then market price of 75 shares = Rs. 75y
Profit% on investment = 12 %
12% of 75 y = Rs. 657
12
⟹ 100 ×75y = Rs. 657
⟹ y = Rs. 75

Question 2:
By purchasing Rs. 25 gas shares for Rs. 40 each, a man gets 4 per cent profit on his investment.
What rate per cent is the company paying? What is his dividend if he buys 60 shares?
Solution 2:
Nominal value of 1 share = Rs. 25
Market value of 1 share = Rs. 40
Profit% on investment = 4%
Then profit on 1 share = 4% of Rs. 40 = Rs. 1.60
1.60
∴ Dividend % = 25 ×100% = 6.4% 𝐴𝑛𝑠.
No. of shares purchased = 60
Then dividend on 60 shares = 60 × Rs.1.60 = Rs. 96 Ans.

Question 3:
Hundred rupee shares of a company are available in the market at a premium of Rs. 20. Find the
rate of dividend given by the company, when a man’s return on his investment is 15 per cent.
Solution 3:
Nominal value of 1 share = Rs. 100
Market value of 1 share = Rs. 100 + Rs. 20 = Rs. 120
Profit% on investment of 1 share =15%
Then profit = 15% of Rs. 120 = Rs. 18
18
∴ Dividend % = 100 ×100% = 18% 𝐴𝑛𝑠.

Question 4:
.Rs. 50 shares of a company are quoted at a discount of 10%. Find the rate of dividend given by
the company, the return on the investment on these shares being 20 per cent.
Solution 4:
Nominal value of 1 share = Rs. 50
Market value of 1 share = Rs. 50 − 10% of Rs. 50
= Rs. 50 – Rs. 5 = Rs. 45
Profit % on investment = 20%
Then profit on 1 share = 20% of Rs. 45 = Rs. 9
9
∴ Dividend % = 50 ×100% = 18% 𝐴𝑛𝑠.

Question 5:
.A company declares 8 per cent dividend to the share holders. If a man receives Rs. 2,840 as his
dividend, find the nominal value of his shares.
Solution 5:
Dividend% = 8%
Dividend = Rs. 2,840
Let nominal value of shares = Rs. y
8% of y = Rs. 2,840
8
⟹ 100 ×y = Rs. 2,840
⟹ y = Rs. 35,500

Question 6:
.How much should a man invest in Rs. 100 shares selling at Rs. 110 to obtain an annual income
of Rs. 1,680, if the dividend declared is 12%?
Solution 6:
Nominal value of 1 share = Rs. 100
Class X Chapter 3 – Shares and Dividend Maths
______________________________________________________________________________

Market value of 1 share = Rs. 110

Let no. of shares purchased = n
Then nominal value of n shares = Rs. (100n)
Dividend% = 12%
Dividend = Rs. 1,680
∴ 12% of 100n = Rs. 1680
12
⟹ 100 ×100𝑛 = 𝑅𝑠. 1,680
1,680 ×100
⟹ n = 12 ×100 = 140
Then market value of 140 shares = 140 × 110 = 15,400 Ans

Question 7:
.A company declares a dividend of 11.2% to all its share-holders. If its Rs. 60 share is available
in the market at a premium of 25%, how much should Rakesh invest, in buying the shares of his
company, in order to have an annual income of Rs. 1,680?
Solution 7:
Nominal value of 1 share = Rs. 60
Market value of 1 share = Rs. 60 + 25% of Rs. 60
= Rs. 60 + Rs. 15 = Rs.75
Let no. of shares purchased = n
Then nominal value of n shares = Rs. (60n)
Dividend% = 11.2%
Dividend = Rs. 1,680
∴ 11.2% of 60n = Rs. 1,680
11.2
⟹ 100 ×60n = Rs. 1,680
1,680 ×100
⟹ n = 11.2 ×60 = 250
Then market value of 250 shares = 250 × 75 = Rs. 18,750 Ans.

Question 8:

12%. Find:
(i) The amount invested by him.
(ii) His total income from the shares.
(iii) Percentage return on his money.
Solution 8:
Nominal value of 1 share = Rs. 20
Market value of 1 share = Rs. 20 + Rs. 4 = Rs. 24
No. of shares purchased = 400
Nominal value of 400 shares = 400 × 20 = Rs. 8,000

Solution 9:
Nominal value of 1 share = Rs. 20
Market value of 1 share = Rs. 20 − 20% of Rs. 20
= Rs. 20 – Rs. 4 = Rs. 16
No. of shares purchased = 400
Nominal value of 400 shares = 400 × 20 = Rs. 8,000
(i) Market value of 400 shares= 400 × 16 = Rs. 6,400
(ii) Return% = 12%
Income = 12% of Rs. 6,400
12

Question 1:
.A man bought Rs. 40 shares at a premium of 40%. Find his income, if he invests Rs. 14,000 in
these shares and receives a dividend at the rate of 8% on the face value of the shares.
Solution 1:
Total investment = Rs. 14,000
Nominal value of 1 share = Rs. 40
Market value of 1 share = Rs. 40 + 40% of Rs. 40
= Rs. 40 + Rs. 16 = Rs. 56
14,000
∴ No of shares purchased = 56 = 250 𝑠ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑠
Nominal value of 250 shares = Rs. 40 × 250 = Rs. 10,000
Dividend% = 8%
Dividend = 8% of Rs. 10,000

(i)
Total investment = Rs. 5,625
Nominal value of 1 share = Rs. 10
Market value of 1 share = Rs. 12.50
5,625
∴ No of shares purchased = 12.50 = 450 𝑠ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑠

(i) If the dividend is 6.5%, what will be her annual income?
(ii) If she wants to increase her income by Rs. 260; how much more should she invest?
Solution 6:
Par value of 85 shares = Rs. 100 × 85 = Rs. 8,500
Market value of 85 shares = Rs. 150 × 85 = Rs. 12,750
(i) Dividend% = 6.5%
Dividend = 6.5% of Rs. 8,500

Solution 7:
Nominal value of 1 share = Rs. 60
Market value of 1 share = Rs. 50
Dividend% = x%
Return% = (x+3)%
According to question
x% of Rs. 60 = (x+3)% of Rs. 50

Question 16:
Vivek invests Rs. 4,500 in 8%, Rs.10 shares at Rs. 15. He sells the shares when the price rises
to Rs. 30, and invests the proceeds in 12% Rs. 100 shares at Rs. 125. Calculate:
(i) The sale proceeds
(ii) The number of Rs. 125 shares he buys.
(iii) The changes in his annual income from dividend.
Solution 16:
1st case
(i) Total investment = Rs. 4,500
Market value of 1 share = Rs. 15
4500
∴ No of shares purchased = 15 = 300 𝑠ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑠
Nominal value of 1 share = Rs. 10
Nominal value of 300 shares = Rs. 10 × 300 = Rs. 3000
Dividend = 8% of Rs. 3,000
8
= ×Rs. 3,000 = Rs. 240
100
Sale price of 1 share = Rs. 30
Total sale price = Rs. 30 × 300 = Rs. 9,000 Ans.
(ii) new market price of 1 share = Rs. 125
9000
∴ No of shares purchased = 125 = 72 𝑠ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑠 𝐴𝑛𝑠.
(iii) New nominal value of 1 share = Rs. 100
New nominal value of 72 shares = Rs. 100 × 72 = Rs. 7,200
Dividend% = 12%
New dividend = 12% of Rs. 7,200
12
= 100 ×𝑅𝑠. 7,200 = 𝑅𝑠. 864
Change in annual income = Rs. 864 – Rs. 240
= Rs. 624 Ans

Question 17:
.Mr. Parekh invested Rs. 52,000 on Rs. 100 shares at a discount of Rs. 20 paying 8% dividend.
At the end of one year he sells the shares at a premium of Rs. 20. Find:
(i) The annual dividend.
(ii) The profit earned including his dividend
Solution 17:
Rate of dividend = 8%
Investment = Rs. 52000
Market Rate = Rs. 100 − 20 = Rs. 80
52000
No. of shares purchased = 80 = 650
(i) Annual dividend = 650 × 8 = Rs. 5200 Ans.
(ii) On selling, market rate = Rs. 100 + 20 = Rs. 120
⇒ sale price = 650 × 120 = Rs. 78,000
Profit = Rs. 78,000 – Rs. 52,000 = Rs. 26,000
⇒ Total gain = 26000 + 5200 = Rs. 31200 Ans.
