Hoover Inc. has current assets of $350,000 and fixed plant assets of $650,000. Current liabilities are $100,000 and long-term liabilities are $250,000. There is $120,000 in preferred stock outstanding and the firm has issued 10,000 shares of common stock. Compute book value (net worth) per share $53.00. $75.00. $65.00. $84.00.

$53.00

Explanation:

The computation of book value is shown below:-

But before that we need to determine the net asset which is

Net asset = Total asset - Total liabiliites

= ($350,000 + $650,000) - ($100,000 - $250,000)

= $1,000,000 - $350,000

= $650,000

Now

Value per share= (Net asset - preference share) ÷ number of common stocks

= ($650,000 - $120,000 ) ÷ 10,000 shares

= $530,000 ÷  10,000

= $53 per share
