If your answer is $85.93, enter 85.93)Number of shares outstanding    200,000

Book value                   $2,500,000

Market value                 $3,200,000

Net income                   $600,000

Earnings per share             $3

Expert Solution

Computation of New Book Value per Share:

Existing Market Price = Market Value/Number of Shares Outstanding 

= $3,200,000/200,000

= $16

 

New Shares Outstanding = Existing Shares + (Fixed Asset Cost/Market Price)

= 200,000 + ($800,000/$16)

= 200,000 + 50,000

= 250,000

 

New Book Value per Share = (Existing Book Value + Fixed Asset)/New Shares

= ($2,500,000+$800,000)/250,000

= $3,300,000/250,000

= $13.20 per share
