Number of shares Mr. D’souza purchased = 200
FV = Rs. 50
Premium = Rs. 100
We know that if MV > FV, then the share is at premium.
∴ MV = FV + Premium
⇒ MV = 50 + 100 = Rs. 150
Value of 200 shares = 200 × 150 = Rs 30,000
We know that dividend per share =
∴ Dividend per share =
= Rs. 25
∴ Total dividend received = 200 × 25 = Rs. 5000
100 shares sold at discount of Rs 10.
∴ Selling price of 100 shares = 100 × (50-10)
= 100 × 40
= Rs 4000
Amount received on selling 100 shares = selling price – brokerage
= 4000 – 20
= Rs 3980
Another 100 shares were sold at a premium of Rs. 75.
∴ MV = FV + Premium
⇒ MV = 50 + 75 = Rs. 125
Selling price of 100 shares = 100× 125
= Rs 12500
Amount received on selling 100 shares = selling price – brokerage
= 12500 – 20
= Rs 12480
Total amount = 5000 + 3980 + 12480
= Rs 21460
Investment = 30,000
Loss = Investment – amount on selling the shares
= 30,000 – 21460
= Rs 8560
