Rohit invested Rs. 9,600 on Rs. 100 shares at Rs. 20 premium paying 8% dividend. Rohit sold the shares when the price rose to Rs. 160. He invested the proceeds (excluding dividend) in 10% Rs. 50 shares at Rs. 40. Find the:

(i) original number of shares

(ii) sale proceeds

(iii) new number of shares.

(iv) change in the two dividends.


(i) 100 shares at Rs. 20 premium means:

Nominal value of the share is Rs. 100

Market value of each share = 100 + 20 = Rs. 120

Investment = Rs. 9600 

Therefore, Number of shares = InvestmentMarket value of each Share = 9600120 = 80

Number of shares = 80

(ii) Sale price of each share = Rs. 160

The sale proceeds = 80 × 160 = Rs. 12,800

(iii) New investment = Rs. 12,800

Market Value of each share = Rs. 40

 Number of Share = InvestmentMarket value of each share = 1280040= 320

(iv) Dividend in the 1st investment = Number of shares Rateof dividend × N.V. of each share

                                                   = 80 × 8% × 100

                                                   = 80 × 8100 × 100

                                                   = 640rupees

                                                   = Rs.640

Dividend in the 2nd investment = Number of shares Rateof dividend × N.V. of each share

                                             = 320 × 10% × 50

                                             = 320 × 10100 × 50

                                             = 1600rupees

                                             = Rs.1600

Thus, change in two dividends = 1600 - 640 = 960rupees = Rs.960
