Question

Acme Widget, Inc. has 1,000 shareholders who own a total of two million shares of its common stock. The company earned $20 million after taxes and paid out $8 million in dividends. The company has assets of $250 million and liabilities of $50 million. What is the book value per share

Answer 1

Acme Widget, Inc. has a book value per share of $100.

Data and Calculations:

Number of shareholders = 1,000

Total number of common stock shares = 2,000,000 shares

Earnings after tax = $20 million

Dividends paid = $8 million

Assets = $250 million

Liabilities = $50 million

Equity = $200 million ($250 million - $50 million)

Book value per share = $100 ($200,000,000/2,000,000)

Thus, Acme Widget's book value per share is $100.
