What to Focus On

  • Capital is the total money invested in a company.
  • A share is a small part of capital.
  • A shareholder owns one or more shares.
  • Use market value for investment calculations.
  • Use nominal value for dividend calculations.
  • Dividend and return are not the same.
  • Premium means above face value.
  • Par means at face value.
  • Discount means below face value.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Dividend is calculated on the market value of the share.

Rate of dividend and rate of return are the same thing.

Premium, par, and discount are decided from dividend rate or profit, not from market value.

Memory Tips
