Answer:
The answer is $10.42 per share
Explanation:
Book value per share is the value placed on a share as shown in the book (Financial statement of the company) while market value per share is the value viewed by the public.
Common equity = $5,125,000
Outstanding shares = 300,000 shares
Book value per share = common equity/outstanding shares
$5,125,000/300,000 shares
= $17.08 per share
Market price is $27.50 per share
Therefore, the difference is :
$27.50 - $17.08
= $10.42 per share
