Answer 1

Answer:

$22.00

Explanation:

Book value per share = Total shareholder equity/ number of share outstanding

Total equity as of 31 Dec 2010 = total common equity at 31 Dec 2009 + net income of 2010 – paid out dividends in 2010 = $2,050,000 + $250,000 - $100,000 = $2,200,000

The book value per share at 12/31/10 = Total equity as of 31 Dec 2010/ number of share outstanding = $2,200,000/ 100,000 = $2200
