Explanation / Answer
Ans) Current book value per share = (total asset - total liabilities)/number of share
= (8.4 Million - 3.9 Million) /20000 = $225
New book value per share = (4.5 Million + .6 Million )/20000 = $255
Current Market to book ratio = market value/ book value
= $78/225 = .35
New market to book ratio = $78/255
=.31
