Find the difference in income if Rs. 36,000 is invested in a 15% stock at Rs. 120 compared to a 14% stock at Rs. 105.
Answer:
Rs. 300
Income from 15% stock = (36000 / 120) × 15 = 300 × 15 = Rs. 4,500. Income from 14% stock = (36000 / 105) × 14 = 342.85 × 14 = Rs. 4,800. Difference = 4800 - 4500 = Rs. 300.

Calculate the difference in income by investing Rs. 24,000 in an 8% stock at Rs. 80 versus a 10% stock at Rs. 120.
Answer:
Rs. 400
Income from 8% stock = (24000 / 80) × 8 = 300 × 8 = Rs. 2,400. Income from 10% stock = (24000 / 120) × 10 = 200 × 10 = Rs. 2,000. Difference = 2400 - 2000 = Rs. 400.

An investor allocates Rs. 15,000 to either a 12% stock at Rs. 150 or a 9% stock at par. Find the difference in income.
Answer:
Rs. 150
Income from 12% stock = (15000 / 150) × 12 = 100 × 12 = Rs. 1,200. Income from 9% stock at par (Rs. 100) = (15000 / 100) × 9 = 150 × 9 = Rs. 1,350. The difference is 1350 - 1200 = Rs. 150.
1674
If you invest Rs. 18,000, what is the difference in annual income between a 10% stock at Rs. 120 and an 8% stock at Rs. 90?
Answer:
Rs. 100
Income from 10% stock = (18000 / 120) × 10 = 150 × 10 = Rs. 1,500. Income from 8% stock = (18000 / 90) × 8 = 200 × 8 = Rs. 1,600. The difference in income is 1600 - 1500 = Rs. 100.
1675
Which provides a better return: a 6% stock of Rs. 100 at Rs. 75 or a 7% stock of Rs. 100 at Rs. 90?
Answer:
6% stock at Rs. 75
Yield A = (6 / 75) × 100 = 8%. Yield B = (7 / 90) × 100 = 7.77%. The 6% stock at Rs. 75 gives a higher return.
1676
Which is a better investment: an 8% stock of Rs. 100 bought at par or a 10% stock of Rs. 100 bought at Rs. 120?
Answer:
10% stock at Rs. 120
Bought 'at par' means Market Value = Rs. 100. Yield A = (8 / 100) × 100 = 8%. Yield B = (10 / 120) × 100 = 8.33%. The 10% stock at Rs. 120 is better.
1677
Which investment is better: a 15% stock of Rs. 100 at Rs. 125 or a 14% stock of Rs. 100 at Rs. 112?
Answer:
14% stock at Rs. 112
Yield A = (15 / 125) × 100 = 12%. Yield B = (14 / 112) × 100 = 12.5%. The 14% stock at Rs. 112 offers a higher percentage return.
1678
Compare the profitability: a 9% stock of Rs. 100 at Rs. 90 or an 11% stock of Rs. 100 at Rs. 110.
Answer:
Both yield the same return
Yield A = (9 / 90) × 100 = 10%. Yield B = (11 / 110) × 100 = 10%. Since both provide a 10% yield, they are equally profitable.
1679
Which investment is more profitable: a 12% stock of Rs. 100 at Rs. 150 or a 10% stock of Rs. 100 at Rs. 120?
Answer:
10% stock at Rs. 120
Yield A = (12 / 150) × 100 = 8%. Yield B = (10 / 120) × 100 = 8.33%. The 10% stock at Rs. 120 provides a higher rate of return.
1680
Which investment is better: a 10% stock of Rs. 100 at Rs. 120 or an 8% stock of Rs. 100 at Rs. 90?
Answer:
8% stock at Rs. 90
Calculate the yield for both. Yield A = (10 / 120) × 100 = 8.33%. Yield B = (8 / 90) × 100 = 8.88%. Since 8.88% > 8.33%, the 8% stock at Rs. 90 is a better investment.
