Best answer

Answer: Sum invested = ₹ 1250, dividend received = ₹ 150, rate of return = 12%

Number of shares = 50, FV = ₹ 10, MV = ₹ 25.

(1) Sum invested \(= 50 \times 25 = ₹ 1250\).

(2) Dividend is paid on the face value: total FV \(= 50 \times 10 = ₹ 500\), so dividend \(= \dfrac{30}{100} \times 500 = ₹ 150\).

(3) Rate of return \(= \dfrac{\text{dividend}}{\text{sum invested}} \times 100 = \dfrac{150}{1250} \times 100 = 12\%\).
