A 14% stock yielding 8% is quoted at:a)Rs. 125b)Rs. 83.33c)Rs. 120d)Rs...
To calculate the quoted price of a stock, we need to use the formula:
Quoted Price = Dividend / Yield
Given that the stock has a yield of 8% and yields a dividend of 14%, we can substitute these values into the formula:
Quoted Price = 14% / 8%
Simplifying the expression, we have:
Quoted Price = 1.75
Therefore, the quoted price of the stock is 1.75 times its dividend.
Now, let's calculate the quoted price in terms of rupees.
Given that the stock is quoted at Rs. 125, we can find the quoted price by dividing the stock price by the dividend:
Quoted Price = Rs. 125 / 14%
Simplifying the expression, we have:
Quoted Price = Rs. 125 / 0.14
Quoted Price = Rs. 892.86
Therefore, the quoted price of the stock is Rs. 892.86.
Now, let's check the options given:
a) Rs. 125: This is the stock price, not the quoted price.
b) Rs. 83.33: This is not the correct quoted price.
c) Rs. 120: This is not the correct quoted price.
d) Rs. 175: This is not the correct quoted price.
None of the given options match the calculated quoted price of Rs. 892.86.
Therefore, none of the options is the correct answer.
It seems that the given answer is incorrect.
