Market Price Per Share=$25.216
We now find Book Value Per Share, Book Value is nothing but the Equity Value of the Organization, In the given problem, we don't have this information, but we have total assets, which amounts to $416900($329700+$87200). Using Debt Ratio we can find book value per share as below:
Lets assume Shareholders Equity is x, Thus total liability will be Total Assets-x
Debt Equity Ratio is given as below:
