About Stocks and Shares MCQs
This aptitude topic uses a small set of formulas. Questions ask how many shares a sum buys at a quoted market price, what market value makes a 6% stock yield 8%, and the cost of Rs. 100 stock bought at a discount with brokerage added. You will also compare investments, such as an 11% stock at 143 against a 9% stock at 117, by working out the income per rupee invested. Mixed investment problems split money between two stocks. Remember that dividend is always paid on face value, while the investment depends on market value.

Frequently asked questions
How do you calculate the market value of a stock from its yield?
Use the formula market value equals dividend rate times face value divided by the yield. For a 6% stock yielding 8% with a face value of Rs. 100, the market value is 6 times 100 divided by 8, which is Rs. 75.
How is brokerage treated in stocks and shares questions?
Brokerage is added to the market price when buying and subtracted from it when selling. If Rs. 100 stock is at a discount of 4 with brokerage of one quarter per cent, the cost price is 100 minus 4 plus 0.25, which is Rs. 96.25 per unit of stock.
