BOOK VALUE PER SHARE


       BOOK VALUE PER SHARE


Book value per share means value of each share as per books of accounts. In simple words the book value of stock is the value of the assets applicable as shown in balance sheet  to each share of company. The book value per share is computed by following methods :-
      
Book Value Per Share   =   Common stock +  Reserves &                                                                                                    .                                                                   Surplus - Intangibles
                                                __________________________
                                                                        No of shares.
No of shares issued can be easily found in balance sheet. But how to compute shareholder funds. There are various ways of computing Book value of shares as follows :-
Shareholder funds = Equity Share Capital  + Preference Share Capital + Reserve & Surplus
Share holder funds  =   Total Assets   -   Liabilities
Share holder funds& liabilities
ASSETS

Shareholder funds                                    xxxxxxxx


Liabilities                                                   xxxxxxxxx

FIXED ASSETS                                               XXXXXX


CURRENT ASSETS                                       XXXXXXX
TOTAL
TOTAL                                                          XXXXXXX

Liabilities are shown at a value which is an entity is liable to pay in future. It means they are shown at market value.
Assets are shown at book value or market value that depends on the accounting  policy adopted by company. The accounting policy is adopted as per accounting standard adopted by company. The listed entities follows IND AS.
In order to analyze fundamentals of company we need to understand the IND AS followed by the company. We will learn about IND AS later on.
Now we would come back at our second formula, it has two components
1 Liabilities are shown at  Market value.
2. Assets are shown as per IND AS that requires detail analysis so we should learn INDAS  in understanding INDAS
IMPORTANCE OF BVPS
Now lets understand the importance of Book value per share. There are indeed certain assumptions in favour of shares purchased at a price far below asset value and against  those shares purchased at a higher price than asset BVPS . (It is assumed that in the ordinary case the book figures represents the cash value that an entity would realise after selling it as going concern).  A business
that sells at a premium as company can earn higher returns on its capital employed  this large return attracts competition, and, generally speaking ,it is not likely to continue indefinitely. Conversely in the case of a company  selling at a very less price than  asset value because of  low earnings than it peers. The absence of new competition, the withdrawal of old competition from the field, and other natural economic forces may tend eventually to improve the situation and restore a normal rate of profit on the investment.
 If a share is dealing far above than BVPS then it can be a risky term to enter in market. But now a days  all shares deal well above than BVPS, due to entry of huge sums of money in stock market.  there fore importance of BVPS have reduced significantly. There are various ways of comparing COMPANIES using book value for example Price to book value ratio, etc.

Now lets see some practical example
