Notes

Ex.  Suppose if the face value of the share is Rs.100 and market value is Rs.150. Let the rate of brokerage be 0.5%. What amount should one pay for purchasing 100 such shares ? What amount should one receive after selling 100 such shares ?

Situation (I) At the time of buying shares:
Buying price of 1 share = MV + Brokerage
= 150 + 0.5% of 150
= 150 + 0.75
= Rs.150.75
If someone purchases 100 such shares the total cost is 100 ×150.75 =Rs. 15075.
Here Rs. 15000 is the share price and Rs. 75 is the brokerage paid.

Situation (II) At the time of selling shares.
Selling price per share = MV - Brokerage
= 150 - 5% of 150 = 150 - 0.75
=Rs.149.25.
If someone sells 100 such shares, he will get,
100 × 150 - Rs. 75 = Rs. 14925 after selling 100 such shares.

 

Note:

  • Brokerage is always calculated on Market value of shares.
  • In the contract note of sale-purchase of shares, price of one share is shown with brokerage and taxes.
