  • Question
  • 12500 shares, of par value $ 20 each, are purchased from Ram by Mohan at a price of $ 25 each. Find out the amount required to purchase the shares. If Mohan further sells the shares at a premium of $ 11 each, then find out his gain in the transaction.


  • Options
  • A. $ 75000
  • B. $ 85000
  • C. $ 70000
  • D. $ 65000

  • Correct Answer
  • $ 75000 

    Explanation

    Given :- Face value of each share = $ 20
    Market value of a share = $ 25
    Number of shares = 12500
    ? Market value of 12500 shares = Number of shares x Market value of a share
    Market value of 12500 shares = $ (25 × 12500) = $ 312500
    Thus, the amount required to purchase 12500 shares = $ 312500
    Then, Mohan sells these shares at a premium of $ 11 each.
    ? New market rate per shares = Face value of each share + premium
    New market rate per shares = $ (20 + 11) = $ 31
    ? Selling price of these shares = New market rate per shares x Number of shares
    Selling price of these shares = $ (31 × 12500) = $ 387500
    ? Gain = S.P. - C.P. = $ (387500 - 312500) = $ 75000.
