Expert Solution
Step 1

Book value of assets of the company

The equity value of a corporation as stated in its financial accounts is known as book value. The book value figure is calculated by taking the total worth of a company's assets and deducting any obligations the company may still owe. It is often evaluated in relation to the market capitalization of the company.
