Explanation of Solution
Thefactors which contributes to the difference in the book value of common stock & its market value is as follows:
- The book value does not reflect true resale value of the assets of the company:
The books show the assets at its purchased value. It does not show the current market price of the assets. Therefore, the assets in the books may shown at higher value than its actual value in the market. This makes the value of common stock less in market than the value shown in the books.
- Company’s future
cash inflows are more valuable than its book value:
The books show the assets at its purchased value. Book value of common stock is reflected by deducting the value of liabilities from the assets of the company.
The market value of common stock depends on the profits earned by the company. The company may have more future cash inflows which increases the market value of the common stock of the company.
These factors make a difference in the book value & market value of the common stock of the company.
