Respuesta :

Answer:

$11.75 per share

Explanation:

The formula and the computation of the book value per share are shown below:

Book value per share = (Total stockholder equity) ÷ (number of common shares)

                                     = ($470,000) ÷ (40,000 shares)

= $11.75 per share

We simply divide the total stockholder equity by the number of common shares so that it can come in per share value.
