Q.A share of face value ₹100 quoted at ₹125 pays a 15% dividend. Find the dividend per share and the yield percentage.

Dividend uses the face value; yield then divides that dividend by the market value actually paid.

Dividend/share $=15\%$ of $100=₹15$. Yield $=(15/125)\times100=12\%$.

Dividend per share

Yield

Check (independent recomputation): $15/125 = 0.12 = 12\%$ exactly — confirms the value.

Computing yield as dividend ÷ face value (which would just reproduce the declared rate of 15%) instead of dividend ÷ market value (the true yield of 12%).
