Its assets is R1 700 000 000. Its share price in the market is R49. Its book value per share is ?
Sol. Book Value Per Share = Shareholders Equity / No. of Shares outstanding
= (Total Assets - Total Liabilities) / No. of shares outstanding
= (1400,000,000 - 500,000,000) / 10,000,000
= 900,000,000 / 10,000,000
= R 90
WN.1 - Total Liabilities = Assets - Shareholders equity = 1400,000,000 - 900,000,000 = R 500,000,000
WN.2 - In calculation of book value per share the assets value needs to be taken is of value in books and not market value/replacement cost. As the replacement cost is taken while calculating market value per share.
