Expert Solution

Computation of Book Value per Share of the Common Stock:

Book Value per Share of the common stock = ( Common Stock + Retained Earnings)/Number of Common Shares Issued

Here,

Common stock = $200,000

Retained earnings = $50,000

Number of common shares issued = 5,300

 

Book value per share of the common stock = ($200,000+$50,000)/5,300 = $47.17
