Solution

The man bought the shares at a discount, i.e., he bought Rs. 10 shares for Rs. 8.25 each.

Step 1: Calculate the number of shares he bought. Number of shares = Total investment / Cost price per share = Rs. 4455 / Rs. 8.25 = 540 shares

Step 2: Calculate the dividend received per share. Dividend per share = Face value of share * Rate of dividend / 100 = Rs. 10 * 12 / 100 = Rs. 1.2

Step 3: Calculate the total annual income. Annual income = Number of shares * Dividend per share = 540 * Rs. 1.2 = Rs. 648

So, his annual income is Rs. 648.
