Answer 1

500, ₹ 50 shares at par earn a dividend of ₹ 1,250 in one year. The rate of dividend is 5%.

Explanation:

Face value of one share = ₹ 50

No. of shares bought = 500

Total sum invested in shares

= 500 × ₹ 50

= ₹ 25000

Dividend in one year = ₹ 1250

∴ Rate of dividend

= `"Dividend"/"Sum Invested" xx 100`

= `1250/25000 xx 100`

= 5%
