Lesson

Yield and Return

Face value is the original printed value of a share and is used to calculate dividends. Market value is the price at which a share is currently traded in the stock market, and it changes constantly based on demand and supply. Shares may trade at a premium (above face value) or at a discount (below face value). The difference between these values helps investors understand whether the share is expensive or affordable relative to its actual profitability.

Concept

Face Value (FV) and Market Value (MV)

Face Value is the printed value of a share, while Market Value is the price at which the share is currently bought or sold. 💡 Exam Tip: Dividend is always calculated on Face Value, while investment is calculated on Market Value. Keep these two roles separate in every problem. ⚠️ Common Mistake: Students often calculate dividend on market value or mix up income, investment, and return. 📌 Trigger: Dividend → FV, Investment → MV
