Over the years, Hampton Industries' stockholders have provided $40,000,000 of capital when they purchased new issues of stock and allowed management to retain some of the firm's earnings. The firm now has 1,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding, and the shares sell at a price of $52 per share. What is Hampton's MVA(market value added)

Answer 1

Answer:

Hampton Industries

Hampton's Market value added (MVA) is:

= $12,000,000

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Stockholders' Equity = $40,000,000

Common stock outstanding = 1,000,000

Market price per share = $52

Market capitalization = $52,000,000 ($52 * 1,000,000)

Market value added (MVA) = $12,000,000 ($52,000,000 - $40,000,000)

b) The market value added (MVA) is the difference between the market capitalization of Hampton's stock and the capital contribution of stockholders.
