Question

Brown Fashions Inc.'s December 31, 2018 balance sheet showed total common equity of $4,050,000 and 165,000 shares of stock outstanding. During 2019, the firm had $450,000 of net income, and it paid out $100,000 as dividends. What was the book value per share at 12/31/19, assuming no common stock was either issued or retired during 2019

Answer 1

Answer:

$26.67

Explanation:

Total Common Equity New = Total Common Equity Old + Net Income -Dividends Paid

Total Common Equity New = $4,050,000 + $450,000 - $100,000

Total Common Equity New = $4,400,000

Book value per share = Total Common Equity / Shares Outstanding

Book value per share = $4,400,000 / 165,000 shares

Book value per share = 26.66666666666667

Book value per share = $26.67
