The dividend yield or dividend-price ratio of a share is the dividend per share, divided by the price per share;

Dividend yield = Dividend per share / Price per share.
8 = 6 / Price per share.
Price per share = 6/8 = 0.75.
If Face value of share Rs. 100 then market value of share = Rs. 75.

Let the investment amount be Rs 100, and yeild be 8% and interest be 6%. Therefore, formula is: asummed amt ÷ yeild amt * interest amt : 100/0.8 * 0.6 = 75.
