Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is $112,038,000

Explanation:

The total equity will be equity brought forward, the net income(retained earnings) and the newly issued shares.

Book value equals asset minus liability which this formula is the same as equity. So in order words book value is also the same as total equity.

Therefore, the book value is:

$105,038,000 + 3,000,000 + $4,000,000

= $112,038,000
