उत्तर
A dividend is that part of the profits of a company which is distributed amongst its shareholders. Equity shareholders are given dividends at a fluctuating rate depending upon the profits of the company, whereas preference shareholders receive dividends at a fixed rate. Also, the rate of interim dividend is usually lower than the final dividend.
The Rate of Dividend refers to the percentage of dividend declared by a company on the face value of its shares.
Rate of Dividend = `"Dividend per Share"/"Face value of share" xx 100`
Example: If the face value of a share is ₹100 and the dividend declared is ₹20 per share, then the rate of dividend will be 20%.
