Income from stock holding at par: What annual income will be derived from ₹3275 of 11% stock (assume at par)?

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Rs. 360.25

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
When stock is held at par, the annual income is simply the coupon rate times the nominal holding. No price adjustment is needed.


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Nominal holding = ₹3275.
  • Coupon rate = 11% per annum.
  • Assume the stock is at par (no premium/discount needed for income calculation).


Concept / Approach:
Income = rate * nominal = 0.11 * 3275.


Step-by-Step Solution:
Annual income = 0.11 * 3275 = ₹360.25.


Verification / Alternative check:
Breakdown: 10% of 3275 = 327.50; 1% = 32.75; total = 327.50 + 32.75 = ₹360.25, confirming the computation.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:

  • ₹360.50 and ₹350.25 are close numerically but not equal to 11% of 3275.
  • “None of these” is unnecessary as the exact figure is listed.


Common Pitfalls:

  • Mistyping decimal places or treating 11% as 0.011 instead of 0.11.


Final Answer:
Rs. 360.25
