Explanation / Answer
Answer:
Current Book Value Per share = Shareholder’s Equity / Number of share
Shareholders Equity = Total Assets – Total Liabilities
= 6100000 -3500000 = $2600,000
1.Current Book Value Per share = 2600000 /25000 = $104 Per Share
New Shareholders Equity = 2600000 +700000 = $3300000
New Number of shares =25000 + (700000 /72) = 34722
2.New Book Value Per share = 3300000 /34722 = $95.04 Per Share
Market to Book Ratio = Market Value Per share / Book Value Per share
3.Current Market to Book Value Per share = $72 / $104 = 0.6923
4.New Market to Book Value Per share = $72 / $95.04 = 0.7576
